My family had the privilege of knowing Lestie for many years. She was a wonderful person who I am so sad to learn has passed away. Lestie went with my family on a trip to the Grand Canyon a few years ago that was a pleasure to be able to travel with Lestie. She watched my daughter from infancy to 7 years old. Muriel and Lestie were wonderful wonderful people.
I will miss her. God Bless

I have known Celestia Myers for so many years. She went with me on my first trip to Israel. She adopted me, sort of, and said she was my SECOND MOM. She looked out for me during that trip and several trips after that. I really missed her when she moved to Zanesville. I have known all of her sisters throughout my life growing up. I am so sorry for your loss again Sis Knapp. But all of them are waiting on us.
