$2307.23Leslie was a wonderful person, who resided in Midlothian, Virginia with her husband, Alan. In addition, they had been blessed with two children; Robin and Daniel.
Previous to living in Virginia, Leslie, along with her family, was a well travelled person. Her husband having lived in several different countries in Europe. Her husband held a position with a company named Dupont, that required him to be called upon to make several long-term relocations in Europe. Thus Leslie, Al, and their children, all ended up living in several different countries in Europe, where the children were actually raised.
Leslie was struck with Parkinson's Disease, over ten years ago, or so. Her husband took excellent care of her, and she went to a rehabilitation facility, in Richmond, Virginia 2-3 years ago. After several months at that facility, she got to the stage, where wasn't capable of even standing anymore able. Since rehabilitation was no longer an option, she had to relocate to a nursing home. She wasn't too fond of the care she received there. In addition, the facility was in the process of being purchased by new owners. So, after a year or two, she and her husband
decided that there wasn't any reason for them to remain in Virginia. They found an acceptable facility in Maryland , that was near the town were her daughter and family lived. She and her husband, both, planned to eventually be living there in Maryland. Her husband, Al, stayed in Virginia, in order to attend to all of the ramifications that would be involved with relocating. Al was attending to all of that, making several trips to Maryland in the meanwhile, in order to visit with Leslie, and approximated his moving to Maryland, by April or May. After hastily driving up to the facility, thankfully, he was able to be with Leslie for a short time, before she passed .away.
