Gabe,
As the former lead secretary at Lowrance MS, I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Leslie. I am truly sorry for your loss and can tell you that she will truly be missed. Knowing Leslie, was really a wonderful thing. She had a certain way about her that made me laugh. My prayers are with you and your children during this time of bereavement. Again, words cannot express the loss you must feel and I pray God's blessings on you. Take care.

Gabe,
I was so sorry to hear about Leslie. I worked with her at South Lexington about 6 years ago. She was one of the sweetest people I'd known and was truly dedicated to the children she taught. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with her, but I want you and your precious children to know how much she meant to us. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
May God bless you!
Sincerely,
Debby M Brown, Lexington, NC

Gabe, I am weeping for you and your children as I type this; when my mother, Martha, told me about Leslie I was shocked and immediately thought of you and your children. Please know that your wife had such an influence over my life, as she began teaching me piano at 9 years old; we made a connection, and throughout the years, we kept that kindred spirit partnership alive. She was such an incredible woman, and I am pleased to say that I've been teaching piano for the past few months, and every day I mentioned her. I found some way to say, "Well, my piano teacher taught me this, and it was great!" I can't imagine the grief you're experiencing, but I can't also imagine the joy she is experiencing, for she is now basking in the glorious light of our Father in Heaven. One day, we will all meet her there and say, "Wow. He really IS a good God." Gabe, I love you dearly, and I'll be praying for you as you cope and assist your children in coping with this loss. Know that the Lord hasn't left you, and that He is always here to comfort you...I pray you feel His comfort blanket you and your home. Feel His comfort, but feel His joy, as well!!!
