Leslie I could have never picked a better sister-in-law. Brother picked the right one. I thank God for putting you into our lives. You have left behind many wonderful memories. Your smile was the best along with the loving and caring lady that you are. You will be so missed. Love and miss you. May you rest in peace until we meet again. May you spread all of your love to the ones there.

Mama Dean, I am forever grateful to have had you in my life. Your kindness, your compassion, and the unconditional love you had for your family will always be  an inspiration to me. You will always be in my heart and memories.
See you in the stars, Leslie
I love you

Rest softly Mrs. Dean. I am so blessed to have spent time with you, decorating Halloween ginger bread. You were so kind, and such a light in this weary world. Thank you for being you.You are AMAZING!!!

A few weeks before Aunt Leslie passed away she sent me a letter encouraging me through a surgery I had coming up. Her words to me were “until then, carry on little one.” Those worlds will forever be with me. Aunt Leslie was the glue for this family. I always knew if Uncle Steve and Aunt Leslie were at a gathering it was going to be awesome! I will miss and love her always.

I remember Uncle Steve telling me he loved Leslie and they were getting married.   I was in junior high and we were standing in my parents driveway.  I remember being so happy because she was the sweetest person I had ever met.   I’ll always remember her smile and the way cousin Mike would make her laugh when he teased her.  So thankful for the time we had together.

I don’t think there was ever a time where I didn’t see Aunt Leslie smiling. Her positivity was infectious, and always brightened every room she was in. She made THE BEST cheesy garlic bread, and often times her and that bread were the only reasons I would go to family functions. I will forever remember her loving hugs, and her joyous greeting of ‘Hey Beebs!’ whenever she would see me. <3
