    I last saw Les with that infectious smile, in B&M about 6 months ago. We had a lovely long chat about our families. Each time I bumped into her when I was shopping she always asked about Sam and Laura. What a lovely lady; gone far too soon. Deepest sympathy to all her family. Love Diana xx

    Diana Batty14 Jul 2020

    Nathalie Somerset Les, you was so loved by many. Your selfless, compassionate and wonderful nature shined so bright, you always knew how to make people feel happy. Every memory I have of you is of you smiling and having a great time. You befriended me on my first day at MHS and remained a true and loving friend ever since. God bless you Les, you are an angel and I will miss you (and our banter) very much x

    Lesley, it's difficult putting the right words together to describe how beautiful of a person you were and how much you mean't not only to me, but to the team. You were always a highlight in my day. I will miss the smile that could light up any room, I will miss our daily banter, I will even miss it when you would tell me off if I ever got too big ...

    Denise Moyden14 Jul 2020

    So shocked at the passing of such a kind, caring, genuine lady 💔 Lesley would always have a smile on her face no matter what. She always took time to ask how I was and how my day was going, how Charlie & Gary were, how my Mum was if she wasn’t in the office, she just loved to listen and genuinely cared. I’ll always remember a story she was tellin...

    Lucy Johnson14 Jul 2020

    It’s still so hard to believe we will never see you again, never see your smile or hear your laugh! You always stopped to talk to everyone and always asked how they were and genuinely cared, nothing was ever too much trouble and you always had a listening ear in anyone’s time of need. You had a heart bigger than anyones and such a lovely personalit...

    Paul Power This is me and my beautiful Auntie Les on the day I was born. My Auntie Les was the most kind , loving and generous person who loved her family. Everybody who knew her is a better person for doing so. My Auntie Les was truly amazing, She was the type of person we all should strive to be because all she knew was how to show kindness and love and the world now seems a darker place without her in it. Rest in Peace Auntie Les X love you always x P

    Stuart Jones Lesley One of the kindest, most genuinely caring people I’ve ever met. Thank you for always checking in on me, to ask if I’m ok, and asking about my little boy. I used to love showing you pictures of him. You always put other people first, it just seemed to come naturally to you. I think if the world had even 1% of people like you it would be a much better place. In your life you were an angel to many, now you are an angel to all. Sweet dreams lovely Les, I’ll miss you.

    It was such a shock to hear of Lesleys passing. Lesley was a lovely lady with the nicest warmest smile. She always had time for a chat and never failed to ask me how my Granddaughter was . She had time for everyone and I am going to miss seeing and chatting to her around the office. Rest in Peace Lesley . My thoughts are with her family .

    Hannah Lewis Such sad news to hear, she will be so missed by many! I remember Lesley from my short 14 months working for MHS 7 years ago!

Sending my love to Jacqui and the rest of the family, I'm heartbroken for you xxxx

    Les will always be remembered for her glowing smile and her warm hello every morning in the office. She will be a huge loss to the whole of defence. Totally heartbreaking.

    I didn't know Lesley well at all. But worked in the same building for 10 years. Her department has always had to walk past my desk, without fail, every time Lesley would always smile and say hello and brighten up my day. My thoughts go out to her family and friends at this sad time. RIP

    Neil Harrison14 Jul 2020

    Gill Carroll14 Jul 2020

    Lesley, although I left Amey three years ago now, I vividly remember the way you'd stop by the reception desk without fail to ask how I was and how we'd carry on chatting right before the lift doors closed. Your infectious smile and vibrant personality would bring joy to anyone in your presence; the story about the Lesley 'Onions' typo on your acc...

You will be missed by all. Thinking of all your family at this very difficult time. Good night god bless Lesley 💔💔💔

    Our conversations of late were early morning trips in the lift or carpark. But, no matter how crowded that lift, Les always engaged with a caring enquiry of how my life was rolling. She never walked past without checking in, smiling, and ending on a giggle. Helen and I share fond memories of a beautiful person. Les will be greatly missed but her wa...

    Vicky Hughes15 Jul 2020

    Lesley. I write this with such a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. Everyday for the last two years you greeted me with ‘baby girl’ and we would end up gabbing for ages. We found a common ground under such sad circumstances and there wouldnt be a conversation that didn’t include ‘wish your nan well from me’ and I could tell that every single time yo...

You was sat so proudly with your sister...

    Julia Jacobson16 Jul 2020

    Les, it’s still not truly a reality that you’re gone. I Keep looking up in the office expecting to see you, or hear you asking me about my grandad or for the answer to some wild life question.

    Sheila tipping17 Jul 2020

    Lesley, I just want to say thank you for being such a genuine and kind person! You would always ask me how my daughters are and tell people around you how much you thought of them (even though you had only seen them a couple of times in Tesco :) ) This just goes to show how thoughtful you were and always made time to check on others. You will be tr...

    Peter Webster17 Jul 2020

    Such sad news for me to be seeing on Facebook. Clear from all the messages that you were loved by many. I haven't worked with you in 6 years but you're one of the people I always remember as being kind and friendly. You would talk to me or you'd say hello when passing. You won't be forgotten and you've left a positive impact by being yourself. You...
