I was so very sorry to hear that Leslie had passed away. She was such a lovely, sweet lady, with whom I had the pleasure of working with for several years at CCWD. She had a very demanding job at CCWD but she was always a joy to work with. And without a doubt, she could print smaller than anyone I have ever seen! In the course of correcting my Board dockets she could makes all sorts of corrections and not take up any space at all. I'll always remember her fondly. My deepest condolences to her family, and especially to her daughter, who she loved dearly.

It was a plesure for us to have known Leslie and to have shared in her life. She was a warm, smart, and beautiful person. Deanna, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, but do take comfort in the knowledge that your Mom was very special and loved by all who knew her. We will always remember her.

I had the pleasure of working with Leslie at the City of Concord. Leslie was always an inspiration to me to set achieve my professional goals. She was always there for me giving me projects to grow professionally and throughout the years that we worked together, I could never have repaid her for the confidence she helped me instill in myself that I can do anything and I can overcome any obstacle. She was truly and inspiration and a true gift from God that I will always cherish. Deanna, I'm so sorry for your loss, losing a mother is an experience that is indescribable, but know that your mother touched many people and will be truly missed.
