Our Beloved Leslie

My hygienist of 26 years passed away today. I last saw Leslie on my last day in Troy,September 28 after she decided not to make the trip to Saratoga. Shortly after that, she became ill and went to the doctor and ultimately was diagnosed with Stage 4lung cancer even though she was not a smoker.

Leslie was loved by all and lived her life with beauty, style, dignity and grace. Despite having two previous bouts of cancer, she came to work everyday except for an occasional bad reaction to her chemo. When she lost her hair because of the chemo, she purchased an elegant hair replacement that looked so good that no one even knew that she was ill.

We grieve with her mother, her son and her sister. She was one of our family and we will miss her.
