I miss you so much and think of you often. You made me so welcome when I visited and I felt like a member of the family. I wish you were still here and that I have so many happy memories of the time spent with you. I remember the time when we went to a museum where you and I looked at everything, you are sorely missed

Dear Frank and Family,
I am so sadden by the news of Leslies passing. I haven't seen her since our 10 year class reunion. She always had that amazing smile and positive out look on everything. It was our sophomore year that I have fond memories crusing Redding streets in her huge car together. Leslie was generous, funny and a pleasure to have known. God bless you all at this difficult time.

May she rest in peace. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the service but you'll be in my thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear about Leslie's passing. Our sons were in soccer together. I wish I could wrap my arms around those she left behind. I am so sorry for the loss of a wonderful woman. During her chemo last summer she continued to show up at soccer. My brother was fighting cancer and she told me everytime she saw me, that she was praying for him and for my family. Her Faith was strong and you couldnt help but be in inspired by her. My love goes out to the family. She is a beautiful gaurdian angel.
Please call us anytime.....Love Austin Shield's family

Dear Mrs. Galewick and Family. I am so sorry to hear about Leslie. We had a lot of fun when we were younger. I remember one time Leslie and I ate a whole box of Lucky Charms for breakfast at your house. We really enjoyed them. To this day they are still my favorite and in my cupboard. I think of Leslie everytime I have a bowl and will continue to do so. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
