We lost a dear friend of ours

[Hull-onian]

My sister-in-law and I lost a dear friend last week. Her name was Leslie Feingold. She loved Disney like there was no other place else on earth. Leslie was a kindergarten teacher in Norwell, MA at the Vinal Elementary School for 35 years. She brought smiles and joy to so many people. She even taught Jeff Corwin of Animal Planet. We introduced Leslie to Disney World in 2004. She was happiest right there in the parks. Donald was her favorite character. This past Christmas Leslie got to do the Keys to the Kingdom Tour and rode out on a boat to Illuminations. We were all blessed to know Leslie. A Garden Hope was planted for her last year. Her nurse at Dana Farber Cancer Institue helped with the garden. Please say a prayer in her memory. We all loved Leslie very much.:flower:

I am very sorry for your loss.
How wonderful that she got to do the Disney extras and add some more magic to her life on Earth.
We will keep you all in our prayers.

So sorry to hear the loss of your dear friend. :(

P.S. I forgot to tell you that last year I arranged through Barber Foods in Maine for Leslie to meet Jonathon Paplebon of the Boston Red Sox and Jonathon's Mom, Dad, and twin brothers at a luncheon. It was great. Jonathon was her favorite Red Sox Player.

Again, thank you for your condolences.
