Leslie Howe Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Apr. 26 to Apr. 27, 2014.
Leslie Joanne Howe August 2, 1957 - April 7, 2014 It is with great sadness, that on April 7, 2014 Leslie was suddenly taken from us. She will be missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her siblings John, Marcia (David), Gordon (Sandi), Cheri-Lynn (Keane) and her partner Darrell as well as her nieces and nephews.

She was a graduate of the University of Victoria.

Leslie loved to move. She was an avid runner, biker and dancer. Sunshine, cats and wine gums brought her joy.

Special thanks to the paramedics and ICU staff at St. Paul's Hospital.

A memorial will be held at a later date. Please contact us for details.

Sweety,
Because of the year we spent together, nearly the last one of your life, I now truly comprehend the meaning of the old adage:
"T'is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved before."

I know I stole the 1st line but the rest is mine, darling.
In the arms of the Angels
Far away from here
May your soul know
ever lasting love and peace.
No more pain. No more fear.

You were so precious to me. I'll never forget you.

I was very sad and shocked to hear of Leslie's passing. My memories of UVic always include Leslie - all we shared and the fun we had. Those memories are that much more precious now. Rest in peace Leslie.
Love,

Wow, I was shocked to hear about Leslie. Such a beautiful lady. She came to our wedding over 25 years ago. I'm sure she's running somewhere in a beautiful meadow. Life is too short, live each day to its fullest!

Very shocked and sad to hear of Leslie's passing. Knew her at UVic and ran with her for many years in Vancouver. She was open to any adventure. Her passing reminds me of our running groups trips to Lake Chelan, many early morning runs together and road trips down to Bellingham to her favourite Mexican restaurant. I send condolences to her family
