Helen, Julie, Steve, Tetka Makish

A message of love and so many wonderful memories of you and your family are sent to you especially during this holiday season. The Lesak children grew up without having known aunts and uncles until we met your family. Some many wonderful childhood pictures will forever resonate with us.

Our dearest Papa - we will miss you greatly, but we know you're rejoicing and singing in Heaven. You loved the Lord and your family and always provided for us, no matter the circumstance or adversity that came your way. Thankyou for always being there for us and showing what it was to live a Godly life. You've left us a rich legacy and heritage for our children and grand children. Even though in the last while you really couldn't speak to us, we knew you where always communicating by singing and humming hymns. Your voice is stilled on this earth, but not in our hearts and memories.
Love you always.
Gary & Helen (your Heki) and T.J., Aaron and Desiree

Love you Papa. I remember you always singing. No matter what, you sang. I also remember your quiet strength. Your faith solid and unwavering. Such a quiet and gentle man, but most of all I remember how when you prayed, your voice thundered. It was such a contrast from the still and peaceful man. Your love for your Savior came through in those prayers and in everything you did. I can never thank you enough for this legacy you have left and I pray we never fail in what you've started. All of our love.
