Don Leslie.........you will be missed.


My uncle Don passed away last Monday and we had his funeral Friday Nov 2nd. He was one of the most kind, loving people I have ever known. He was always friendly and loved to cook for his friends and family. My personal favorite was his cajun grilled chicken sandwiches and stuffed mushrooms. I remember I was pregnant with Emily and I was craving them so he brought all the stuff to Granni's for Christmas and made a whole bunch and made sure I got plenty. It hurts us all that he had to go but he is with his Father in Heaven and is not suffering anymore.
Don and Linda were such a great couple and loving parents. I can only hope that my relationship with my husband and children can resemble what they had as a family. I truly believe Don was such an influential person and taught many people how to be happy by his example.
Emily says 'Uncle Don died and is in Heaven with Jesus and is not hurting anymore." She was a bit confused though why we buried him if he was in Heaven. I of course explained to her that his heart and soul are in Heaven and we are just burying his body here on Earth. So now she says "Uncle Dons heart is in Heaven with Jesus and his body is sleeping." She amazes me everyday. She says "Mommy don't cry, Uncle Don is better now and happy with Jesus."
Uncle Don, you will truly be missed.
