Leslie was all the women a man would ever want in his life as a companion, let me rephrase that because if you know us you know she’s my babe and to say she’s my wife because she always will be still blows my mind she will always be my everything ,my friend, my soulmate, and my love at first sight I’m in tears trying to write this but I got to continue to let everyone know how wonderful she was for me .Since day one, she has always excepted me and all my flaws and encouraged me to be a better me.I can honestly say a-lot of the changes I made in my life was because of her.She is definitely god sent .I should have knew she was something special when I cried like a baby when we got married, and now today tears fall again on this iPhone as I express the love I have for this wonderful soul.Even though nights are extremely lonely without you I still feel your presence, listening.I want you to always know you will always be my wife , my friend, my soul mate. I definitely look forward to the day we together again smiling saying we sure showed them what love looks like.This is definitely hard on me I can’t lie but I know I can’t be questioning gods work so babe I know god got something for us that way bigger than this and I look forward to it .

Leslie had such a sweet spirit, I remember babysitting the girls with her . Her smile could light up a room. The only hope one has is in the Word made Flesh ; Jesus the one who made a way for us back to the Father. Absent in the body , Present with the Lord. Let’s remember that as we love our lives recognizing his constant presence.
