Leslie was a beautiful, loving soul who brought light and joy to everyone around her. She was spontaneous, full of life, and deeply devoted to her faith and her family. Leslie was a hard worker, a fighter, and a dreamer—she had big plans to become a cosmetologist and was so excited to graduate this year, especially to wear the senior pants her mom and sisters made for her. Her love for God and her family was at the center of everything she did, and she touched the lives of so many with her kindness and spirit.

Tragically, Leslie was in a car accident with her cousin, and both of their lives were cut short far too soon. The loss has left our family heartbroken, and we are now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye to someone so young and full of promise. As we navigate this difficult time, we are also confronted with unexpected funeral expenses that we were not prepared for.

Several people have asked how they can help—any support, whether prayers, sharing this message, or a contribution toward expenses, would mean more than we can express. Thank you for surrounding us with love.
