It has been my sincere pleasure to know Lester. He was the first friend I made at the Senior center playing Dominoes. I used to come to the nursing home to play there and we enjoyed seeing who the winner would be. I will miss him as I know you all will also. He now walks with Jesus and his body is whole again and we can be happy for that. I do extend my condolences to his family and friends for your loss. His sweet memories will live on in all our hearts. God bless you all and give you peace.

Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9. During this grievous time look to God for comfort. Because with His comfort comes hope and an abiding peace that is beyond all understanding. Philippians 4:7; John 11:24, 25; Revelation 21:3, 4; Psalms 83:18. My deepest condolences.
