I remember my father, J. Lee Stenstrom, spoke very highly of Mr. Lasher. Back in the 70's, both working at Eastern Airlines and members of North Hialeah United Methodist Church. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Charles and the Lasher family are in our prayers. God Bless you. David & Cindy Mahoney, Brad Laird, and all of the Comfort Keepers family.
