Leslie went home to be with the Lord yesterday afternoon. There's a huge hole in my heart. We were loving companions for 5 1/2 years. He was such a gentleman, such a kind, caring person and he was loved much and he knew it. I am going to miss him but so thankful for the time we had together.

A mutual friend showed me this picture. "Here's someone you need to meet", she said.
As they say, 'The rest is history'.
It was a great 5 1/2 years.
Latane, so very sorry for your loss. Praying for you. What wonderful memories you have of Leslie and your time together.
ReplyDeleteOh, my Dear! I'm so sad to hear of the loss of this wonderful person and companion and confidante and friend in your life.

Latane, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. You don't know me, but I found you from Vee's blog a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to tell you that I ordered your book last week, and I am SAVORING it. I am even rationing it out a little as I approach the end, because I DON'T WANT IT TO END. Thank you for writing it, and I will keep you in my prayers at this sad time.

My thoughts are with you Latane at this very sad time. I was quite shocked reading the news this evening. I know you and Leslie always enjoyed your times together. Your travel stories were always interesting, and I know you made many memories in your years together. May those memories eventually bring you comfort once your grief has eased, and may Leslie be in a beautiful place free of pain.
