Leslie, it’s Tammy. It’s 2023 now..I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to bury you. When I was in the hospital and heard that you passed, I crumpled within with no words to express how I felt. I remember seeing you the last time, talking through things that were bugging me, hearing you call after me as I left that you loved me. You were a good big brother, looked out for me as I made my own choices in life. You were there for me, an intelligent person to bounce ideas off of and our family bond was precious. Only.. I regret not turning back to give you a hug when I saw you last, but I’ll always remember how you would say “I love you sis” before we parted. I just thought there would be a next time... Now as I mentally prepare myself to bury our brother James, I prepare to see your final resting place as well. I truly believe we will meet again one day. And I will give you the hug I took for granted the last time I saw you. You are remembered with love and respect from me. RIP. - Posted by: Tammy Bruyere (Younger sister ) on: Aug 26, 2023

We grew up together, I am sorry I wasn't there to help you, but I couldn't find you or never knew where you were, man I miss you a lot brotha, there ain't a day that I don't think of you, your death will not be in vain, but at least you ain't in pain no more, I kept the fire goin for you, I made several offerings and tobacco in th sacred fire, I stayed strong and didn't cry at the funeral but I was furious to find out how you passed, I'm so damn sorry - Posted by: James (Twin brother) on: Mar 22, 2022

Leslie was a very special person and I am deeply sadened by his passing. He had the biggest cheeks, warmest smile, and a mischievious laugh but the most prominent was his kind, infectious personality. He will forever be in my heart and my thoughts. - Posted by: Sarah Halldorsson (Friend) on: Jul 12, 2021

There aren't even words to express my sadness and my grief for you. I am so sorry. I wish I could make it on Monday to honour him. What I remember most about Tonto is how he could make everybody smile by just walking in the room. - Posted by: Emilie Beaulieu (Friend) on: Jul 10, 2021
