To the Heath family,
We are related in a round about way. My father-in-law was Rodney Earl Jenkins and his mother was Jesse Heath which was Lester's half-sister. Which makes us family. Sorry to hear about his death. I hope that you and your family take peace in that he is in a better place. God Bless you all.
