It was with great surprise and sadness when we heard of Leslie's passing. It is always too soon but especially when someone is so full of life. She had so much more to experience with her family. We hope her children understand that she will always be with them. Her smile, laughter, warmth and knowledge will be part of her legacy to them.
We will definetly miss her. She always did such a great job.
