On September 6, Leslie Jensen, partner and wife of artist Brian Jensen, passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. I first met Leslie on AFI where she posted upbeat stories about their life together on the road attending the art fairs. I had admired Brian's work at the Krasl Art Fair and met her in person there. In July she reported on the Ann Arbor Art Fairs and was an active member of our community.
Memorial service Saturday, September 15, 11 a.m. at Faith Lutheran Church, 800 Waconia Pkwy N., Waconia, MN. Visitation one hour prior. Memorials preferred to Hope Chest for Breast Cancer and Pay it forward fund.

The last several years they tried to maintain hope and continued to travel to the shows, including a trip to the Southwest last winter. Brian, wishing you everything you need to get through this difficult time. May your memories sustain you.

I'm so sorry about Leslie's passing. I know it was a long tough fight, I'm fighting breast cancer myself now...
