Jan, I would like to send my sincere condolences to you and the rest of the family. I am so very sorry for your loss of this great man. I got to know Les when he attended my Yoga Class in the small groups at LUMC. He was a sincere student and very dedicated to all he was involved in. He always made a point to talk to me during my time at LUMC which I truely respected about him. My only regret is not going to see him during this last year. My heart goes out to you! May you be at peace during these next few days. Blessings, Kelley Pulliam
