I am so thankful that I had an opportunity to know and love Ms Lester (MaDear) as my own Mom. She accepted me into her family circle over 30 years ago and It was truly a blessing to me and my fam. I will truly miss her loving on me, her upbeat personality and watching and hearing how she truly praised God. She will be missed...Fam you are in my prayers ... Gone but not forgotten.

With sincere sympathy we say to each of the children-Cousin Les was always in that elite group of individuals that shined so brightly. She was taught well by her grandparents to do what is right and good. Her presence will truly be missed, but as believers in God we look forward to that great day when we all get to Heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be. Love and Blessings!!

We never want people to leave us that have meant-so much to us, we hide behind things to shield us from the inevitable. We know it's coming and we try to brace for the pain, but it doesn't work. My grandparents meant the world to me and now losing MaDear is going to put a bigger whole in my life. She taught me how to be me and always do what's right and best for me, I thank her for being there always and she will be forever. I have my own personal angel in heaven, I know that because she was that for me on earth. I love you MaDear, it's time for you to rest.

We love you Mom and miss you so much. Things won't be the same without you being here.

Queen, Bobby, Marilynn and Richard, the coming days will be difficult and lonely but we'll get through it with the help of the Lord.

Daddy and Mom taught us to be strong, to love and support each other. Mom believed in doing the will of the Lord. If we follow God's word, we'll be ok. I love each of you. God bless
