Tributes
I am sorry that I cannot be at the service for Lesley. I have many fond memories of our time together at Spotswood College. Together we were the Home Economics dept when I started teaching in the 8Os. Lesley and, Tom became great friends. I was influenced by Lesleys great style, copying her decor with my first home. I loved listening to her stories of living in Argentina, their holiday time in the Barrier as well as learning about different recipes and cuisine and enjoying Tom's art. Lesley always looked so elegant and had very high standards for the students to aspire to. I will remember her driving with her high heels as an experience also remember. All my love to Nick, Eugene, Aaron and the rest of the family at this sad time. Kindest regards Julie Rowlands
