Hi Robert I realy hope you receive this e-mail and I ask you to please share at funural service today.  If you cannot read, please ask someone to do so for me .

Goodafternoon to all and thanks be to God for all your support knowing our family is going through this difficult time of our lives.
To my family. today is the begining of a new chapter in the lives for those of us left behind as we recall and cherish the memories of our love one Olga Louise Leslie.

As for me I, I first of all give God thanks for her life and allowing me to share with you in tribute the memories I have of my cousin and a sister figure in my life. I cannot be present t at this time but God knows only why for I tried my best to be hear but due to Health conndition and the changes that I am experiencing it was not possible.

As I recall my life with Louise, I go back to Belize recollecting the many many times we united with each other wheather it was at my grandmother home at Cemetary lane or at her home on the Canal side. Louise was always juvilent and full of love to me and my mother. Nothing was too good for her to give our share with us.  As an older cousin she always gave me the best of advice especially when we meet at the Cornor of King Street and Canal Side as I am on my way to High School and she is on her way to work at  Bennet Drug Store. From time to time she would plan on paying me and mommy a visit at our home and without delay she was there.

Louise have always been there in my life from Belmopan to the United States we communicated and truly share many life stories bitter or sweet.  We cried together and we laugh together.

My outstanding memory of Louise that I  will always  cherish and never forget was the care she gave to my father up until the time of his passing.  Those moment were priceless in my life and I  never forget to thank her each opportunity I had.  She would always say to me Althea I know God will have a place for you because you surly honor your parents. We spoke about the faith we need  to have through all our tribulations and each time she begins to worry about anything I would recolllect  MY Cousin we are standing on the promise of God let not your heart be troubled.  These word were the sparke in her light and with joy we would complete our conversation until the next time.

In November of 2010 it was my first return to California after the death of my father.  Louise was on her Job but she inform me that she have made every arrangement for me to have a place to stay and of course that was her home.  My grandson on arrival to her home ask where is cousin Louis( not Louise ) I told him she is at work and we will need to go and see her before our return.  His response was isn't she a nice cousin to do all these nice things for us. Grandma we are special and this is life.

Our most recent conversation before she was hospitalize, was January 4th, 2012 when she learn of my medical condition.  Cousin Louise was sure to sink it in that I must be careful of what I am eating and what I should change in my diet.  As we spoke she share with me all that can cause us sickness that we are not aware of and her last word to me was I will be praying for you and please let me know your update when you return from you doctor.

Today as you all  know I never had the opportunity to speak with her again but I  prayed for her as she was praying for me and I know that its all at God feet. I am also please to know that I had the opportunity to unite with her during and at the Wedding for Karen and Robert.  Thats the memorial weekend that I will remember always.

Karen, Lisa and Melanie you are in my continued prayers and I thank god for the relationship we had because of Mom.

Finally, I ask that  the rest of my family present today, that as we weep for our love one Olga Louise may we trust God and live his words "Love one another" that we can be reunited with our love ones.

Louise as we are seperated from you, I ask God to welcome you in his presence.

Farewell
