It saddens my heart to hear of my dear cousin's passing. Leslie was an amazing person, so full of laughter and love. She touched the lives of all those around her. Leslie was taken from us far too young, but she will live on in our hearts and our memories. Leslie I will miss you, and love you, always.

Godspeed, Les. You were the best and I hope that you were never too upset that "Daddy never gave you the Caddy." All my love.

Our deepest sympathies to the Townsend family on Leslie's passing. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Leslie, we learned through her mother Christine that she was a very special person. We were deeply shocked and saddened when we first learned of her illness, and have prayed for her every day since. We trust that Leslie is now in a better place, and resting very peacefully. She was taken far too early, but we hope that her family and friends will take comfort in all the good memories and love that she shared with all during her abbreviated time on Earth. Our thoughts are with Leslie's family at this time. Celebrate her life and remember her in good times. Rest in peace, Leslie Ann.
