My condolences to all of Les’s families. I haven’t seen Les for many years and first met her when she was working with my Dad at Schwartz Realty. Dad always spoke highly of Les with her professionalism and efficiency but more so he cherished the glow and happiness that she brought to the office everyday that was shared with everyone. Les was one of the most pleasant and kind people I’ve ever met in my life and was always so friendly and nice whenever we crossed paths. As reality would have it, the world has lost another beautiful soul and our hearts go out to her families. God Bless to All.
My deepest condolences to TJ and family. My heart is with you

My condolences to all the family. Lesley and I had good times during our junior and senior high school years. She was always very friendly and upbeat and a person you could confide in. While our paths have not crossed for some 60 years,I often have thought of the good conversations we had while playing pingpong or listening to music. Lesley may you rest in peace, and thank you for the memories.
