To Leslie's family: I was just thinking about her and googled to find her obituary. Please know how she enriched my life as a mentee of hers at Fairview Senior Outpatient program. She taught me so much about compassion and understanding. A shining diamond of a person.

I worked with Leslie at Healtheast Hospice. She was such a wealth of compassion, wisdom and source of support to me and the team. I especially enjoyed getting together outside or work and laughing and listening to stories about her son and family. I send my condolences to all.
