Leslee Im sorry you're not with us anymore. You were so pretty. You had this big smile that reminded me of Dolly Parton and you're special gait when you walked. I know how much you loved your family, how you admired your sister Corrine, who passed in 2011, also to my surprise.. Another shining star..We had some good times as teenagers, even living together in Halfmoon Bay.. With Jackie, your best friend. You were doing construction with Jackie and I worked at the Jolly Roger.. Then I eventually worked there too, at the construction camp, making sandwiches. Remember the Frenchman who you nicknamed pepe le pew? Didn't he have a crush on you and used to beam every time you called him that? Haha! Your family sure knew how to throw a party too!! And they were all so kind, Colleen Lorne and Corrine , your Mom and Roy. Its amazing how fragile life becomes.. The memories I loved included you Leslee. See ya later Leslee! See ya later friend! - Posted by: Linda Roulette (Friend) on: Jun 27, 2020
