I am another AOPi who would like to express my sympathy for your loss. I was an upper classman when Leslie joined our sorority. I will always remember her as a lively, cute, sweet girl.

I will always remember L-May as happy, care free, and young. She had many people (AOPI's and Theta Chi's) who loved her in her own her own way, and most of all she danced to the beat of her own drummer!

Jim and any family who might read this. I was a sorority sister of Leslie's and I am so sad to hear of her passing. Many of us lost touch with her, but she was never and will now never be far from our hearts.
