I received a call on Saturday morning letting me know
that my good friend Lesley passed away. I was shocked and
very sad to hear this. I couldn't believe that she was gone I still
have a hard time believing it. I met Lesley on a craft board many years
ago along with some other painting friends. We decided to form
our own group and we've been close friends ever since. We even had the
opportunity to meet in person. I spent some time with her in November
at her craft show. She was so surprised to see me she couldn't believe her
eyes. We had some laughs, shared stories, we even made plans to go riding together. She gave me one of her snowmen gourds which
I will treasure forever along with all the other gifts she has given me. The best gift she has ever given me was her friendship. I will miss our e-mails and seeing her creations. She touched so many hearts and she will be missed dearly.
Lesley was a very talented, generous, and happy lady and always willing to share her
knowledge with others. She loved to paint, she would even paint her cat Rosie's whiskers with water :)
My thoughts and prayers are with John, her family and friends. May you rest in peace my dear
friend. I will miss you deeply. I love you Squirrley from your friend Queenie xox
