Lesa, there are so many things that I would love to say to you right now, but alas, I waited too long. My heart broke when I heard the news because you were such a dear friend to me for so many years. I sat down last night and went through my old ScotiaCentre photo album. I couldn't hold back the tear when I saw you smiling back at me from those pictures. I'm sorry we did not keep in touch over the last few years but you have always been in my heart and I know I was in yours because that's just the person you are. I know that you are now rejoicing with the angels and that the Lords is happy to have you in His company. My love always......
To Anna, I know you probably don't remember me but I can still see you as that darling little girl you were at 4 years old. I hope you find comfort in these words knowing that you Mummy was loved by all who knew her. David and John, I never got the chance to meet you guys but I know I would have loved you simple because Lesa loved you and you loved her back. God's Richest Blessing to you all..... from Heather (Slowbert).

I was in the backyard reading the book of Hosea on (05/28/12) and I started to call my dear friend to ask her some questions about what I was reading. But, I continued to read and pray. Today, as I read, again I started to call my friend Lesa. Then,a short time afterwards,my phone rang, and I looked down and saw the name  and answered by saying ,I started to call you, but it was not Lesa, it was Ana calling to tell me she had gone home. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I began to cry.I will never forget the day that we met (12 years ago) and what she said, "God has people in the market place". From that day forward,we were always there for each other. I remember in April, 2008, my husband was in pain and I called Lesa at 12:00 midnight and asked if she could come and she said "let me ask John". Yes,Lesa came and stayed until 5:00 a.m. So many times I called and she came to see about me. Lesa loves the Lord, yes "loves" because she is in His (Jesus) presence. So many things we shared. I would call her and she would pray me through or we would pray for others together. We shared so much with each other. The love of God was in her, the Word of God abided in her. She loved winning souls for the Lord. I love Lesa, and I can't put in words how I am feeling. She was beautiful inside and out.She wanted to please her  Heavenly Father. Sometimes, we didn't talk for a month but that didn't matter. She never would hang the phone up without saying to me, I "love you mommie" with a kissing sound. John, your wife was a precious Jewel. Ana Lesa and David, your mom has left a legacy of prayer behind for the both of you and she loves you all so very, very, very much.

Lesa P was a very special woman, we had great times during those days at Scotiacentre, I can still see your smiling face as you walked in the branch. May YOUR SOUL find rest in God and He will take take of your pecious ones. God bless and remember that God is still in charge no matter what happens. 
Jacklyn Morgan (former Scotiabanker)

Dear "Lesa P"
I can't stop thinking about your family and the fact that you are gone from this physical existence already. So sorry we had virtually no contact since 1986 but I did ask about you over the years.I heard that you flourished and bloomed.I am grateful for the honour and privilege of knowing you back in the day at Scotia Centre,and I cherish those fond memories. Thank you for the difference you made in this world. Farewell beautiful woman.

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW LESA,OUR FAMILY CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS THE SORRY WE FEEL AT YOUR FAMILY'S LOSS AND IF THERE IS ANY COMFORT TO BE HAD MAY IT BE IKNOWING THAT SHE WAS A GODLY WOMAN. 
MY GRANDSON WAS A PASSENGER IN THE OTHER CAR INVOLVED IN THE COLLISION.  HE & WE ARE DEVESTATED.

GOD took home a rose for his garden and it was our special rose. Amen!
Lesa was a friend indeed and i am happy to have met her at vauxhall school back in  1972.
Three weeks ago i shared a picture with Anna of Lesa in a group of girls , graduation batch 1976. It was the first time Lesa was beholding it and she liked it. 
Lesa was a fanatic for her lord and served him with all her abilities . She was steadfast  until  the end !  
May John ,Anna and David find comfort in the work of the lord and that she is with the maker and saviour.

May her SOUL rest in peace with her creator

Caring is Gods language and Lesa spoke it well. Our conversations always ended in prayer as she prayed for me and my small business. Thanks for all your encouragement until we meet again. Carol White--West Palm Beach, FL

WOW !!! Lesa, a woman of great grace and diplomacy.  Lesa loved God and humanity.  We spent treasured times together years ago. Lesa's sudden death has alerted us to live ready and prepared to meet God.  I pray for John, beautiful Ana and Precious David... May God Give you great comfort...

My heart goes out to you John David and Anna.... May she dance with the LORD....

Words can't describe Lesa's sweet spirit and radiance for the Lord. Over the years she's been a loving friend and encourager to me. So many of us were touched by her life; she was a beautiful example of God's love. We are so sorry to loose her but rejoice that we know she's with her Savior! 

John, Ana and David, our hearts ache for you and we lift you up in prayer, knowing that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.

John, Ana, and David, we cannot adequitly express our deepest sympathy for your loss. Lesa was a rock to Marianne and I during and after our health issues. We will never forget her caring and prayers for us.
Lesar Rest in peace with the Lord.
Our prayers are with you.

Marianne & Charlie Darcy.

Lesa had a servant's heart that is special  I met Lesa through church and she volunteered to pick up my son and I and take us to church as we were new to Palm Beach and the church.  I am grateful for her act of kindness and I am sorry to hear that she has left us so suddenly.  My prayers are with her family left behind to cope with her loss.  My deepest condolence to John, Ana and David.

I felt an immediate connection to Lesa the first time I met her. Our boys go to school together and are often with each other on the weekends. We have lost such a sincere, warm, and loving person.  Heaven has just received an angel.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of someone as special as Lesa.  She was a dynamic individual.  We will miss her smiling face and warm personality. We pray that David has a full and speedy recovery.  Jenny Hoppel & Levant Morris (neighbors)

My Sympathies to Lesa's family. I got to meet her only once but liked her & her husband immediately. I am so sorry for your loss. Mary Harper  ( A neighbor )

Our family sends our deepest condolences in the loss of Lesa.  Our daughter Emily, goes to school with David. We
 are wishing him a speedy recovery and we will help in anyway we can!  We will continue to keep your family and David in our thoughts and prayers.
The Keogh Family

Dear Lesa, I love you! I had the honor and the privilege of calling you my sister in Christ and my friend. I thank God for putting you in my life through BSF. I will be praying for David, Ana and John and for all those that you shared with me that were in your heart. Thank you for shinning the light of Jesus so bright that others couldn't help but notice! Thank you for being my friend!

Dear Lesa, I am so sorry I did not have the privilege of knowing you better.   From the brief time I spent with you, I do know that you were a very warm and loving soul.  I thank you for all of the love, peace and happiness you provided for my Uncle John.  We pray for David, Ana and Uncle John.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Lesa while in her human body but my prayers and thoughts are with the entire family during this time. I am  praying that David has a speedy recovery. My heart  and positive thougts are with you!

I didn't know Lesa..but my son Christopher rides the school with David everyday. On til this morning David and his mom where not at the bus stop. I got a very strange feeling that something was wrong..then I got the news. My heart goes out to David and Lesa. We will pray for David's recovery..and Lesa is with our Lord and she is watching over her son at this time and always in his heart.

I have no words to express how I feel. This is truly a sad time. 
I had the privilege to work with Lesa on several cases. She was a warm, loving, helpful and God fearing person. She had a sweet friendly personality that makes you want to be her friend. Lesa never fail to encourage. My life has been enriched just by knowing her. We truly lost a rare diamond. 

My prayers are with you, John, Ana and David.

Our Lesa,
Our prayers go out to you and your family. You will be truly missed, A Truly One of a Kind Human Being. Even in your toughest times you were and will always be a trooper... God has received an ANGEL and you will Always hols a Special Place in our Hearts....... Lissette Mosqueda(Lake Worth)

My heart & prayers go out to the Tavarez Family. Lesa was an amazing God fearing woman. I had the privelege to meet her 3 months ago when she walked into the school one morning to early release David & noticed that I was playing Christian music. Tears welled up in her eyes as she expressed how grateful she was that her son is attending a school where there are Christians that are covering their students in prayer. Friday was the last day I was able to see her. As she came to release David she sat here singing a worship song not knowing that she will soon meet her Savior & King. She's rejoicing in the Presence of the Lord but will be abundantly missed by many! On behalf of Osceola Creek Middle School-Your family & David are in our prayers!

God has taken one of his Angels home!Lesa will be missed by so many who's lives she touched,including mine!
My Prayers are with you.
Iris Blackburn Kraft,Loxahatchee Fl.

Dear Lesa, in my darkest time of sorrow you parted words of wisdom and showed me the way to my inner strength. I wish so very much that we would have spent more time together, but the short time we shared will forever be with me. Please give my Daddy a big hug and kiss...Love your niece Mercedes

Dear Lesa, How do I even begin? You were everything to me. You were like a mother because you taught me so much by imparting God's wisdom and by giving me and everyone you knew so much love. You loved not only in word but in deed. I always referred to you as a hands on Christian. Always willing to do anything for anyone who was in need. Lesa, you were like a sister to me always willing to listen and to pray with and for me and my family. It will be wonderful when we see one another again and be with our wonderful Redeemer who loved us and gave Himself for us.  John, you David and Ana have suffered a great loss of a loving wife and mother. We love all of you and we want to be there for you.
Jack, Betty & Larry

Lesa, you are one of the most wonderful and caring people I have ever known. You were always so close to your heavenly Father that you had one foot in heaven while the other had to remain on earth. Now you have slipped the bonds and gravitational pulls of earth and are with Him who ever loved you. We are left to miss you and yet hear your voice in our memories that assure us of God's mercy, His great love and that He does all things well. From  your vantage point you are able to see and experience all of the things that you once knew by faith. God will watch over your children. You know your prayers for them He will honor. I write all this in the present tense because we know that you live on and that you have now been made complete in Him. I spite of our sorrow I cannot imagine , dear Lesa, your joy!

I did not know the deceased but was at the scene of the accident shortly after it happened. How very sad.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

John, Anna, little David! I just found out this afternoon about Lesa!  Your entire Andros family is right beside you to help in the days to come! ALL of us, Joanie, Karen and I were with Lesa in BSF last monday night....Lord, absent from the body, present with the Lord, Oh, LORD, our hearts are broken, and yet we know the REJOICING in heaven when Lesa awoke in Jesus' arms.  Praise and tears, call any one of us! 561-301-6234, tonileepb@gmail.com, Love, Auntie Toni Lee

Lesa is one mighty woman of God. She was a great mother and wife. Lesa has been my best friend for the last 14 years (I was David's nurse when he was born 14 years ago). A part of my world has just gone dim. I am so grateful for how she shared her life with me. You will be greatly missed, Lesa. Heaven just got a little brighter. Please pray for David, Anna and John- 
Sharon (St. Augustine, FL)

Lesa was our neighbor and friend.  Such a caring and friendly person.  Our prayers are with you and your Family. We will miss you.

From our family to yours God bless and please let us know if there is anything needed to help support your time of grief.

You could not find a more caring loving person in this world than Lesa. One of the nicest people I've ever known.

And yes, Chester loves you and he misses you. 

We all do.
