I am sorry for your families loss. It has been a very long time since i seen Leslie, but thinking back to the fun times we had when we were little girls running around together still puts a smile on my face. I will not forget her.

I was Leslie's Supervisor at Metro Lab. She always made me laugh. She
was a bright light on many days when everyone else was down. My
sympathy goes out to her family. I
know her children will always know
how she loved them. May she rest
in peace.

Deaths that come all too soon are the hardest to deal with. The question that we who remain are asked to answer is ..... did we as Christians do all that we could to make a difference in this single life? I pray that the Lords blessings be upon you and that you somehow find peace in the midst of your sorrow. I've been there and it does get easier. In God's grace

I
am so so sorry for all the family and friends loss of Leslie. I only
met leslie a couple of times and not very long ago, I met her at my
good friends Jennifer Webb Larson's funeral a few weeks back. We all
gathered back at Jenny's house after the funeral to feel some comfort
and closeness. Leslie and I talked a lot espically about how much she
looked like Jenny. I felt like I was looking right into Jenn's eyes. I
cannot believe she is gone too
I just pray they are both together and in the hands of god.
May they both rest in peace and may god be with us
all who are hurting and not understanding the reasons why this has happened. My thoughts and prayeres are with all of you that knew and were close to Leslie, she was a beautiful person that seemed to have a
beautiful soul.
