Mr. Lester was such a wonderful GrandDad to my son Brad. I appreciated him as he was an answer to my prayers in the fact that Brad would have a strong Christian influence around him. I know the loss is great here on earth but the Heavens are rejoicing and one day for believers you will be reunited. I will be praying for you all.

Wayne, Vickie, Belinda, my heart goes out to you during this difficuly time. It is hard to let go of the ones we love so dearly. Even though we know that your Dad is resting safe in the arms of God, the pain resulting from the loss of the most influential individual in your life just isn't easy. But, I can't help but smile when I think of the reunion that happened Friday...I know the folks that meant so much to Bill were there waiting with open arms to walk with him to his mansion. I imagine there is a huge dinning room table with a very big coffee pot!

I'm glad I have had the opportunity to have all of y'all be such a big part of my life. I love all of you very much.
