    We are saddened to hear of Leslie's passing. Leslie was such a bright kind soul and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. She was so talented and made anyone feel comfortable when she talked to them. She worked for me for about 6 months recently and I had the pleasure of getting to know her professionally and personally.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and if there is anything we can do please feel free to reach out to me.

    Love,

    Her Tricon Family
