    Scott and Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Jack and I had such wonderful memories of nights spent around your kitchen table with the Jannitto's. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

    I was so sorry to hear! Leslie was one of the most kind, generous souls I've had the pleasure to know. She watched my kids for years! Practically raised them and I know her influence made them into the caring individuals they are today. To think I almost did not hire her because of her 'military' haircut - I thought she would be too austere. Was I ever wrong in that initial judgement. She was a light in our home and I'm so grateful she was a part of our lives. My biggest regret is getting busy and not spending more time with her and Dan. But I must say, every moment was a pleasure . 💕
