RIP LESLIE LOVE U
Hughie, Holly and Heidi. So sorry to hear of Leslie’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
I have known Leslie since 1957 when we moved to the keys… and candidly she was a super dooper kid. We left in 1962 and did not see her and Huey again until my niece Tracey married. Her daughters were gorgeous… took after Mom’s side. I again met up with them in Bronson… sadly she left us too soon. my deepest condolences to Huey, her daughters and extended family for their loss. No words can comfort at this time. Bless you all and you will be in my prayers. Look to God for strength as he will bear your burdens and heal your soul.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have a picture of Huey and Uncle Winn. I would like an address to send it to. I am Charles N Ernstes youngest daughter. I do not know if anyone notified your family of Veronica’s passing August 7th.
God bless you and your family during this time of loss and healing
