Kevin, Jenny, and Trish:

What a wonderful service for Lezlie.

I am sure she was smiling down on all of you for always being there for each other. I am so sorry that

we let a lot of years go by and not

see each other, We always thought

of you guys and we had such great

times with Kevin and Lezlie especially when Matt was little.

Remember when we went to the pageant

and Matt won a trophy. We had such a great time.

Lezlie was a great friend to me,

and I am happy for all the times we

spent together. She taught me how to dye my hair.

Kevin: We'll talk to you soon and

we'll catch up on things we missed.

To My Best Friend Trish,

The passing of your Mom will be difficult for you. I know that you were very close, and that she left you much too soon. However, the flow of life continues on, and Xander is the next generation to carry on that mission of life. Your mom would want you to focus on helping him become the best young man he can be, and that is where you have to turn when you need someone, or something, to lean on. Your mom will be missed, but her spirit will live on through you, your family, and through your son. I love you little one. BOB & Chuck XOXOXO
