A special thank you to the health care staff at RVH, OSMH and the nurses who supported Leslee, her cousin Cindy and the many girlfriends who were always there for her and provided support everyday.
In keeping with Leslee’s wishes, she was cremated and her ashes will be spread in her favourite places. At this time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a private family funeral will be held. A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation to The Sharing Place or Building Hope (Lighthouse Foundation).
