I met and knew Leslie from when she worked at the Santa Claran Hotel Front Desk. She loved her children as she always talked about them and her heart ached when they weren't together. Leslie had a Big Big Heart. She deserved better in life. My deepest condelences to her children and her family.

I had met Leslie back home where I'm from and it was a hard place to be in. She knew no one and was scared I made it a point to get her thru her hard time. In that time went on and she made it a point to find me and thank me. Ever since we became friends and when things were tough she would find me. I'm glad to have met her and to know I meant a lot to her. She is a blessing and now to know she's always with me feels my heart with happiness. With this I'd like to say. Each and every day love each other help each other because u never know ur last day. Build one another forgive each other lifes too short. Prayers to the family especially her lily ones. Stay strong and know ur mother was a gift and beautiful all the way around.

I'm deeply saddened by this. Leslie was a beautiful person inside and out. She was a good mama to her 4 kids. To her kids and family, my condolences. May God be with all of you during this time. I'll never forget her!
