Richard Wayne Lester

Rieva, I never met your husband, but read your beautiful tribute to your husband in today's newspaper and felt compelled to send you a note. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know your heart must be breaking. Know that your husband is with you always. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, Mandy

Rieva and family,
I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel that I was very blessed to be on the Co-Ed Softball team with Rich. God Bless You and Give You Peace.

Rieva,

We are saddened to hear the news about Rich. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

At a time like this, one comfort can be "happy memories". My earliest memories of Richard were of him as an 11 year old boy in my 5th grade class. He was one of that group of boys that kept me on my toes. He was funny and a little mischievious, but not in a bad way. My most fond memory of Richard and his class was the "kissing circle" Class of 93, do you remember that day? You all formed a circle out on the playground at recess and faced out so that Richard and Lori could kiss. You...

Donna & Family,

I was so sad to hear about Richard-he was a few years behind me in school but I remember how he was always full of fun and smiles. My prayers are with you all.

Take care,

To Rich's Family,
I went to school with Rich for a short time in Onalaska, and had a crush on him from day one. I am so sorry for your loss, and won't pretend to know the right words to say. Please know you are in my prayers.

Donna and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Rich and I had a lot of fun together in high school. My favorite memories were sitting next to each other in Mr Abrahamsons CWP class. I had the joy of sitting between Rob Brown and Rich. We were told many times to quit talking, much to Mr Abrahamsons dislike, we didnt. I also had the honor of walking with Rich at graduation. I consider him a very close friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife,his two little girls,and the rest...

I am so saddened to hear of Rich's accident. I will always remember his quick wit and that darn cowlick. All those school pictures with the thing in various heights. Remember the year he clipped it down to his scalp the night before pictures?

I am so sorry for the loss. I can't even imagine the cavernous hole he is leaving behind.

Dear Donna and Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. We are so sorry. There are no words that can be said that would take away your hurt and pain but may it help in some way to know that we care and send our love. Cherish all the wonderful memories as they are what will get you through the difficult times ahead. We send our deepest sympathy and love, Lea and Lynn (Robert)
