Dear Leslie, I was very sorry to learn about your Mom's passing. Having lost our Mom recently we recognize that Mom's represent the anchor of our families, the one's we still call when we weren't feeling well or needed that boost of confidence that only they could provide. My condolences to you, Dave and your family. Please take care. Tina

In the three years I have been researching my family's genealogy, I happened across Leslie Manion's Linked-in file. From there I was reconnected to Norma, Leslie & Dave. My research took me back to Ontario last summer and a wonderful week getting reacquainted with them & Brockville. Having been raised in Hudson Quebec, we were never too far away from the Manion's in Montreal and all of my family remembers their visits vividly. Norma & I have shared regular "McArthur family" chats over the past year discussing our sketchy list of ancestors and I would scribble every detail down. At every opportunity I would nudge Norma for more memory recall and after a chuckle she would throw out another gem providing me with yet another direction to pursue. Her ability to recall minute details was remarkable and she would keep a pen & pad handy for when other relevant memories would pop up. It was her incredible family recall that allowed me to find my father's sister's kids. I hadn't seen them in about 50 years. Two are here in Alberta & one in Texas. My dad was very fond of Norma. They saw a lot of each other as Norma & dad's sister, Lillian, were best friends. Dad also had a special place in his heart for Leslie. I was very pleased that Norma did get to talk to Lillian's kids this year. It was special for them and I am sure for her as well. Norma has been the family focus for the last year & greatly responsible for bringing us all together. I miss her very much.

Dear Leslie and Dave, We are so sad to hear the news of your mom's passing Leslie. Being in the throes of this ourselves right now, my heart breaks for you. It doesn't matter how many years we were lucky enough to have these special women as our mom's, or how old and 'grown-up' we are as people, losing our mom is not something we can ever prepare for. Although we never had the good fortune of meeting your mom, we have had the good fortune of having you as our friends over many years. From the stories you've shared with us, we know she was an incredible woman Leslie - she helped shape you into the amazing person you are (and she probably had a hand in shaping Dave a bit too!) You have a zeal for life that is immeasurable, and a strength inside you that can move mountains, and will help you handle this sadness. We share your sorrow and send you our thoughts, prayers, hugs, light and love. Bonnie, Chris, Paige, Kristin, Brady and Brooke
