Every time I see sugar cookies that are decorated, I think of Lesa. My sister made the best tasting, most beautifully decorated sugar cookies in the world !! She never followed a recipe- it was her own special way of making the cookie dough. She never told any of us the recipe, so it will forever be her “ secret recipe “. Lesa had many talents- baking was just one of them. I will always miss you, and know one day we will be reunited in Heaven.

I love you mom and I miss you more and more everyday. Not being able to hear your voice, feel your hugs, or seeing you hurts. The boys and I will keep your memory alive for the rest of our lives. Until I see you again mom, rest in peace and hope you are enjoying seeing your dad and grandparents.
