Well today makes 16 years I have been with the love of my life and married to him for 11yrs. Happy anniversary Jamie Navarre what am amazing blessing u r to me and always will be. I love you!!!!

Leslie and Jamie have been through a lot in their 11 years, especially in the last few. Jamie has fought cancer with incredible faith, courage, and good cheer. This town has been doing for Jamie what they did for Ruthie: love him and support him, Leslie, and their son Tucker throughout the cancer struggle.

Today, Leslie posted this to Facebook:

I married the love of my life and best friend on may 24, 2002 a day I will never forget – god was ready to take Jamie to be with

Jamie & Tucker, 2011
Jamie & Tucker, 2011

him and be cancer and pain free on may 24, 2013.
Jamie went very peaceful and he wanted to make sure that when u ever spoke about him never say he lost his battle with cancer it will be he fought hard till the end!!! Thank u for all the prayers and support and most of all being such awesome friends to him. I hope u all understand why I did not say anything last nite I did it to protect tucker till I could get home to hold my sweet son and tell him myself – it was hard enough being away from him for 19 days … God bless u all

Your thoughts and prayers for this family are requested.

Your thoughts and prayers are also requested for little J.J. Walker, a local boy who has inoperable brain cancer. Today was J.J. Walker Day in St. Francisville, to raise money for his medical bills, and to celebrate his spirit.

Ruthie insisted that nobody should be mad at God for her own cancer. I accept her wisdom. But it’s easier to do on some days than on others.
