We are deeply saddened by the passing of Leslie. She was an excellent employee and an asset to Amoco. Leslie was an extremely caring person and always offered her help whenever necessary. Besides being a dear friend, she was like family. Erin, I know these are extremely hard times but be assured that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Erin, although Leslie may be gone, she will always be a part of you. The day will come when you will see her again. I didn't know Leslie, but if she was anything like you, she earned her wings long before she left this earth.

Our prayers are with you, Craig, and your entire family.

Erin:
You may not remember me, but Leslie and I worked together at Amoco. She was a kind and good-natured person that welcomed me with opened arms in the Exploration Dept. She gave me a surprise baby shower when my first child was born, and had your mother to design and bake the cake. I will always remember her as a woman that loved people unconditionally. May her soul rest in peace.

My sweet, sweet friend. You were a ray of sunshine to all that you met. Your laugh, your smile...the way that you gave so much of yourself to others, but above all to the Lord. I didn't get to tell you goodbye when I had to leave the office, but I thought
about you often.

My heart hurts knowing that you aren't here anymore, but it rejoices knowing that you are with Christ in Heaven.

I love ya', "Webre"...I'm so heartbroken that I couldn't tell you goodbye.

Love always,
Leslie
