I love you girl. It seems that our family in heaven is so much bigger than our family here but we will be there when God says it´s time. I sure do miss you.

Oh Sweet Leslie, How I wish you would have never left. Things are so different now. Our family will never be the same and we miss you so much. I know the guest book is going away soon but I wanted to leave this message in your memory.
You were an amazing mother, sister, daughter, sister in law, daughter in law, mother in law and wife. We have all experienced unconditional love from you. The imprint of that love will be on our hearts forever and always; beyond the twelfth of never.
I miss you.

I love you sweetheart and you will always be in my heart. Your loving husband, Stan

Today I said goodbye to you
It's not really what I wanted to do
Life goes on, this much I know
Until God says it's time to go
You're in His arms smiling down
Watching us who wear a frown
We're not crying cause we're alone
It's all because now you are gone
God's strength will get us through this time
I'll miss you much, dear friend of mine.
I love you Leslie!

I miss you so much my dear friend. Even though recently we weren't able to get together because of your illness, I knew you were there if I needed you. You will always remain in my heart. You are in good hands now...that is a comfort. Not that Stan and everyone didn't take very good care of you because I know you were taken care of...it's just that God can do a much better job. I love you my friend.

I've lost a very dear friend. We've shared so much through the years. She was a tough card player and beating her was a rare accomplishment on my part. Bill and I have lost a dear friend, but our memories will live on in our hearts. God Bless Stanley and all her family. Love you Leslie!
