Heather and girls I am so deeply sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you all and Jane.
My condolences go out to Leslie,s family. I have known him for over 30 years, always enjoyed talking with him, the last time we talked was last year at the Cracker Barrel. He will be dearly missed.
I went to school with Leslie. I’m so sorry for your loss. Leslie was such a funny & kind- hearted man. He will be sorely missed.
We love y’all Heather so sorry.Prayers for you and the girls .
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am so sorry to hear of Leslie’s passing. I lost Jim and his parents, then my parents passed away not long ago as well. It is so hard to carry on some days, and if not for the strength and guidance that Jesus gives to me each day I would be lost. Lean on him when you are low and thank him when he lifts you up and we will all be together again one day. Love you all. Gina O’Kelley
