Leslie was my first true, unconditional love and I was one of hers. The way we both lit up when we saw each other, the excitement in both of our eyes, never faded. My sweet baby girl, I will forever love you and keep you in my heart.

With so much Love,

Titi Lizy

Leslie was a true die hard Cowboys fan. Her interests and hobbies also included dancing, cheerleading, staying active by working out, and anything else that kept her moving. She had recently picked up nail manicuring and became really good at doing her own nails. She loved being silly and making people laugh.

She was loved by many, but she loved many more.
