I am so sorry for your loss! Leslie was a sweet heart! I enjoyed going to church camp with her and kids when they were younger.
Leslie was a good friend. I remember when she came to Arizona to go on a TOPS retreat with me. She spent the night at my house then we left to Prescott. It was so much fun traveling with her. I will miss
her smile and her encouraging words. 🙏❤️🥰
Leslie was my sister of heart. We went on many cruises together along with our late friend Judie Fluegge, attending IRD’s with TOPS. Leslie loved her TOPS friends. When I visited her in MN. she took me to mall of America and Botanical garden. We discussed gardening in our letters. She loved gardening both flower and vegetable. She was excited about moving to Tennessee and building her dream home. My heart hurts at the loss of my friend. We talked about our children and grandchildren. Will miss her.
Condolences to everyone that loved Leslie. I worked with her at Best Western. She was such a pleasant and nice person & I enjoyed working with her. She will be missed dearly. RIP Leslie ❤️
Very saddened to hear of the passing of Leslie. She was a great human being and it was always a pleasure talking and laughing over coffee with her and her mother Rose years ago.
My condolences. Sending peace and love.
