Not sure what to say?

It was a true blessing to have you as my Uncle. The family will mourn your passing but we will also celebrate your life. The memories we have will make us smile when we think about you. The love we shared will give us strength to get through this. Love you dearly, Uncle Lester, you will truly be missed.

It was such a joy having you as my uncle. You held a certain thing about yourself that we know down there in Osceola, you wouldn't take no stuff off of anybody.
