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.
