A Poem for Leslee

Precious Gift
©  Sherri Lawrence

When times seem too hard to bear & I l feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and daughter bind that can never be torn
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest
I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend
Your are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given

With All My Love,  Mom



1957-2008  she was always my angel  and now she belongs to God.

Marty,

I am so sorry for your loss.  My heart is breaking for you and your family.  I will pray for all of you.  I know you know this already, but I just want to say that Leslee will always be with you.  She will watch over you just as you, her wonderful mother, have always watched over her.

Oh my God...Marty...I'm so sorry I didn't read this sooner. I'm in shock...how did this happen so fast? I thought she had more time...
Marty, I will always have a special place in my heart for you and Leslee...I'm sorry, I can't seem to wrap my head around all of this and the words just aren't coming to me the way they should.
I can't believe Leslee is gone. I just can't.
I love you Marty and pray that God gives you strength and surrounds you with your loved ones during what I can only imagine, is the most difficult of times.
I am broken about this....there are no words.
Love Becky xx

I really do not know what to say -- except I pray that God gives you strength and eases the pain you must be going through.

I have been trying to log on everyday to check the status.  I am heartbroken without even really knowing the two of you.  I just relate so well with your relationship with one another.

Dearest Marty,

I am shocked to read this news so soon.  You have been a great mother and warrior, fighting every step of the way, always by Leslee's side.  Now she is watching over you and will always be by your side.  Thank you for being you, you have been a great help and support to me as well.
I am so so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you and the whole family.
Love and big hug

My heart is breaking for you Marty.   My deepest sympathy to you and your wonderful family for the loss of Leslee, who was such a courageous and strong woman.  She has now found eternal peace.

For Leslee...

May the blessing of the rain be on you—
the soft sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers may spring up,
and shed their sweetness on the air.
May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
may they beat upon your spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there many a shining pool
where the blue of heaven shines,
and sometimes a star.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May the good earth be soft under you
when you rest upon it,
and may it rest easy over you when,
at the last, you lay out under it,
And may it rest so lightly over you
that your soul may be out
from under it quickly,
and up, and off,
And be on its way to God.


Marty...you inspire me to be a good mother.

Love and Peace....Kim

I've never corresponded with you personally, but have followed a lot of your posts regarding Leslee.  I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry that all of you had to go through this.  You were blessed to have a wonderful daughter like her, and she was equally blessed to have a mother like you.  May God hold you in his arms and comfort you at this difficult time.  ~ Lori

Words cannot express the feelings that I have, for such support that you all give to my family.  Right now I have a big hole in my heart.  I will copy this out and show to the family.  Leslee was a gift to us, and you all know the saying,  "that gifts keep giving" I will keep drawing on her strength for a while till I can finally let her go.  I wish that all of you could have met her personally, then you would know, what has been lost from this world.

Marty,

Please accept my deepest sympathies for you and your family.  I am angry this disease had the chance to take another one...but at the same time, we are all so blessed for knowing Leslee through you.  Please know we are holding you close to our hearts as you go through this.  What an angel she is, indeed.

Love,
Gail

Dear Marty,
I am so sad today..My heart breaks for you and your family.
love  butterflytc

God saw you were getting tired
A cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whisperd come with me.

With broken hearts we loved you
As we heard you had passed away,
Allthough we love you deeply
We could not make you stay.

Your golden heart stopped beating
And your caring soul was put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
