We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our beloved Pastor Leslie. Her loss is profoundly felt throughout our community, and our hearts are heavy as we remember the incredible woman she was.
Pastor Leslie was more than a regular presence at our stay & play sessions—she was a cornerstone of warmth, compassion, and unwavering kindness. She generously spent countless hours with us, not out of obligation, but out of pure love and dedication. Her radiant spirit touched everyone she met, especially the mothers she joyfully socialized with, offering gentle encouragement, prayer, and a listening ear when it was needed most.
However, her deepest joy—her true calling—was with the babies. She had a special way of holding them close, cuddling them with such tenderness and peace that it brought calm even to the most restless little ones. Her gentle hands and loving eyes made every child feel cherished. It wasn’t just caregiving; it was a ministry of love in its purest form.
As a devoted member of our center’s board, Pastor Leslie gave selflessly of her time and wisdom. Her leadership was steady, her counsel wise, and her commitment unshakeable. She played a vital role in shaping the direction of our programs and ensuring that our values of care, inclusion, and community remained at the heart of all we did.
Pastor Leslie lived a life of quiet service and extraordinary grace. She did not seek recognition or praise—only the opportunity to serve and share the love of Christ through her actions. Her legacy is written not in grand speeches or headlines, but in the laughter of children she comforted, the strength of the mothers she supported, and the thriving community she helped nurture.
She will be profoundly missed—by the families whose lives she touched, by her fellow board members, and by every one of us who had the blessing of knowing her. Though our hearts ache with her loss, we are grateful for the time we had with her, and for the indelible mark she leaves on our lives.
May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may we carry her spirit forward in the work we continue to do.
With deepest sympathy and love,
The [Your Organization Name] Family
