I am so sorry for Leslie's sudden passing. She was a true super mom...there for her wonderful daughters and other family. Leslie had a personality that was so giving and kind. Everyone respected her that knew her. There's only one location Leslie would be: in heaven watching over all those she loved.

She made broken look BEAUTIFUL,
and Strong look INVINCIBLE.
She walked with the UNIVERSE on her shoulders.... and made it look like a pair of WINGS!!!!!
This is the Leslie Myers that I loved and knew. She will forever be an angel with a heart of GOLD! I loved her like a mother and I am saddened by her passing. But I know she is putting her wings to use and she is at peace.

May God wrap His arms around the whole family and bring peace and understanding to each of us, somethings we will not understand in this life, but if I can share one thing with all of you do whatever it takes to spend eternity with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Love you all.
