Lester B. ODONNELL

Cheryl and Family, we are sad to read of Les' passing. We remember you well and have fond memories of Les, your mom and dad and all the good times we had at Eggertsville Lodge. Peace be within you at this time.

Cheryl, Our hearts are breaking for you and the girls. We wish we could be there. Les was Wally's best friend, and memories of our youth come pouring back. Les had some difficult struggles, and I guess we always felt he would be there. Sorry we didn't keep in touch better. Thinking of you always, Wally and Lynn Wolfert

Dear Odonnell family,

I have very fond memories of your dad while camping with family at Beaver Meadows. Your dad always made us laugh and was a joy to be around. I'm sorry to hear about your loss and send prayers to your family.

Love, Sara Nagel (Schaefer)

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Cheryl,

I had the pleasure of meeting Les only a couple of times, but the joy, laughter and wonderful memories he brought to my life will stay with me forever! I am terribly sorry for your loss.

Cheryl,

I am so sorry to hear about Les. I haven't seen him in a long time, but always will remember him for his smile and optimism after his heart problems.

I was out of town, but certainly would have been there for you for the services. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I cannot think about my childhood without remembering Uncle Les. The camping, vacations, holidays are wonderful are a part of me. Kerri & Colleen, I understand the sadness you must feel as there is a unique bond between father & daughter..I know this well. Cheryl, your children &, especially your grandchildren will be your strength... I can't help but think of my Dad as well, and despite the tears, I know they are both watching over us.. I love you all.

It is so difficult to put into words feelings that go back to childhood. It is impossible to think of camping, vacations, etc. without including Uncle Les. Kerri & Colleen, the loss of your father is like no other a the bond between father & daughter is unique as I know. Cheryl..your strength will come from your children & grandchildren. I love you all. I cannot help but think of him with my father & it brings many tears..but, I am sure they are watching out for all of us...
