I have fun memories of Uncle Mark and Aunt Leslie from when I was small and they would visit us in California. But, over the years, because of moves by my family and moves for Huff and Leslie, we lost touch. But by some crazy coincidence, as an adult, I ended up living in Washington state at the same time Huff and Leslie were there. My husband, Brett, and I got to get to know my aunt and uncle as adults and as people and I feel so lucky. Not everyone gets the chance to get to know their aunts or uncles as friends. We loved Huff’s stories and his laugh. Uncle Mark and Aunt Leslie hosted us at their home on Bainbridge Island several times and always made us feel so welcome. Sadly, my husband and I had to relocate, and Mark and Leslie moved to Baja, so our communications became less frequent. But Brett and I never forgot the fun and warm memories from the couple of years we got to spend with Uncle Mark and Aunt Leslie. We were terribly sad to hear of Uncle Mark’s sudden passing. It’s hard to imagine someone with such a lust for life and such a hearty laugh leaving us. We send so much love to Leslie and to Huff’s family. We hope all of these memories from so many wonderful people will provide comfort as you continue to grieve.
