We’ll Miss You, Leslie<br />
Hilton Hotel<br />
Portland, Oregon<br />
Leslie Roy resigned from her position as <strong>Family</strong> Support Coordinator on<br />
March 9. She moved to California to help her aunt, who has early-stage<br />
Alzheimer’s. She began work at Orange Coast Community College on March<br />
15; she also hopes to complete her goal to finish her Bachelor’s degree.<br />
Leslie worked for three years as our office manager; for the past six years,<br />
she has provided support to <strong>FA</strong> families around the world. Leslie became very<br />
knowledgeable about <strong>Fanconi</strong> anemia, and tirelessly assisted families in their<br />
efforts to become better informed. She created e-groups so that families could<br />
share knowledge and give support to one another. Families describe Leslie as<br />
compassionate, deeply caring, and extremely helpful. Families could always<br />
count on Leslie to help them through times of crisis and loss. Leslie devoted<br />
much of her life to our families and to this cause, and many of us became her<br />
close friends.<br />
We will miss you, Leslie.<br />
