I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.
Mark 10:15 NLT.
To the family of Lester,
I pray that God's hands of comfort rest upon you in your loss. When I got the news it tore me up. I don't believe my wife has ever seen me so broken, fighting back the tears. Lester and I became friends during junior high school, at Samuel J. Green though we lived just halls away from each other in the Guste Holmes projects. Even then I noticed his humble spirit. Our friendship was developed on art (drawing) and singing. He was by far the better artist and though it wasn't competitive, he'd compliment my work while taking a back seat to his own, astonishing work. His life exemplified "humbleness". For this reason I have to believe he had a personal relationship with Jesus. GOD has Smiled on his life... he'll be missed here.
