Leslie was my Cooperating Teacher, my mentor, and my friend. I am so sad to hear of her loss, and I send my heartfelt condolences to Kimberly. Leslie was one of the most generous people I've known, and she helped me survive my first few years of teaching, planning lessons with me and always encouraging creativity and deep thought. I'll always cherish the memory of her dry sense of humour and memorable sayings, one of my favourites being, "That tastes like more" (to describe something so tasty that one MUST have another helping!). Lesley had a zest for the "more" of life - she was a truly special and amazing woman, and will be deeply missed.
