I will miss you forever. You were my best friend for 48 years. I don't know what I will do without you. I know you are in a better place, I say my friend until we meet again.

Lezlie and I have been friends for 46 years. My heart will always hold a special place for her. May God hold your family close and help you find healing and strength throughout the coming months. -Terry Shepherd
I am so broken hearted and sorry for your loss. I didn’t get the opportunity to get to know Lezlie as well as I would have liked to, but I know she was a kind and selfless lady of faith. I know that Lezlie is up in heaven with our Creator right now, and that is probably the only peace to come from this. My honest and sincere prayers are for her family and friends. May the testimony of her life and character be inspirational to have exactly what she had. I look forward to seeing her again…one fine day. I can’t even say “rest in peace”…for she is not resting. She is walking on streets of gold. -Andrea Farrell
My prayers go out to the family, Lezlie had a kind and gentle spirit that she showed her co-workers. We thank God for sharing that time with her. -Carolyn Ashford
