Lesley had such a beautiful warm soul. Our short friendship as Cheer Mom's will be cherished. She was so proud of her family. My last interaction with Lesley was in May at the clinic - she shared stories of the our girls trip to Florida with the nurses and was quick to show Caitlin's beautiful prom pictures. May all the wonderful memories stay close to heart and help guide you through this very difficult time. Love Kandie and Kalie Maynard

To Neil and your family. It has been many years since we had contact with Lesley and you, but I want to attend the service with Cindy to let you know there were many ball games and BBQ's, along with a cold beer we enjoyed over the years. Her smile and your kindness was appreciated as a family. Big Baseball Fans Walter and Judy Rogers
