Memories and Condolences
for Nancy Leslie

Not sure what to say?





Humble, generous, kind, helpful, compassionate and friendly are only a few of the warm, wonderful adjectives which could be used to describe Nancy. What a sweetheart! She will be greatly missed by the people of W.S. and SJC! What a proud and happy Grandma she was. I also loved seeing her on her many walks around town. May God bless the Leslie family.
