Leslie meant so much to me. From Long Lake in 1956 to Long Lake in 2010 and "the dash" in between. I will always have those memories.

Rick- you have been so great to her over the last few years. You are truly a mench.

Ricky and Family: Leslie and I played together as children in Marblehead and, at times, she was my big sister, teaching me practical things like how to put earrings through the new holes in my ears (ick!) and to wash my hands after the bathroom (yes, I said it!) When I think of her now, I remember her kindness, warmth, grace and, most of all, her beautiful, sunny laughter. I felt good in her presence and will always remember her with love. May you all draw comfort from one another now. I am so very sorry for your loss.
