Dear Pat,

I sincerely hope that you are feeling better. I think of Tat often. I know that Leslie wouldnt want you hurting as much as you are. Sounds like you too were a very special couple. People go their whole lives without that. Bathe yourself in your resplendant memories and be strong. Try to enjoy life, she would want you to. She is still in my heart and you are in my prayers. God Bless and keep you.

Leslie my love,It has been 8 months since you were taken away from me.Life without you just isn't worth living. There is no measure to how much I miss you.You were the only true joy in my life and since you've gone there is only sadness. Life just isn't fair to give you to me and then take you away after only a short time.Just know this my love, There will never be anyone that could ever take your place in my heart. If there truely is a God maybe he will let us have eternity together since we didn't get much time together here. I love you with all my heart. Miss you much my Oooo

I met Leslie in pogo and was instantly drawn to her.She lit up any room she was in, as she was outgoing, friendly and fun! At the time I was out of work, struggling with a divorce, and trying to support two children on my own. Leslie gave me courage, hope, determination, and most of all , unwaivering support. We exchanged gifts by mail once. I sent her some VT maple syrup, and she sent me the most lovely angel figurine that has been the centerpiece on my mantle ever since. I believe that God sent me that very same angel the day I met Leslie. She gave so much of herself to those around her, she will be sorely missed. I hope to see you in The Kingdom of Heaven, my Gardian Angel.

Tatterina was one of the people who instantly lit up a room when she entered. She just had that ethereal personality that drew others to her. Always a smile, nice word and laugh for everyone. What a special person who's lack of presence will surely be felt. My deepest sympathies to the family. Peace and serenity to you.

So very sooy for the passing of Leslie , but I refuse to feel she is gone on to walk with the lord , becauce Tatted would not want that . She was a dear sweet lady that only wanted everyone to be happy , not sad ,always sticking her tounge out at you if she got beat in bingo, then turn around with a kiss for you . She is deep in my heart and still on my friend's list and that will never change . Tatted I hope you know I Love You with all my heart,((((Tatted)))) Dad/eagle1dgo/Donald

Leslie was one of the first people I met at bingo. She was my little "Tattala". She taught me how to laugh, gift and totally enjoy life. I know she lived her life to the fullest. Right now, God is busting his britches laughing ---- Leslie gave up the wings and is rolling around the clouds on her "hog"!! But she did get those wings tattooed on her. God love you Leslie. You are so missed. My thoughts, sympathy and prayers go out to Pat, family and friends.
