I am very sorry to hear about Lester's passing. I remember when you both came in at night when Guest Services was in the food court and you use to talk to myself and Dawn (security). May he rest in peace. God Bless.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Lester's family and friends during this difficult time. I was extremely saddened to hear of his recent passing. I will sincerely miss his visits to the eye department. I will also miss him telling me "that I have cold hands, only to reply afterward, that it must mean that I have a warm heart." His face always lit up when he came to visit us in the eye department. Ruth and Lester became more than a patient to some of us that worked in the department...We became good friends. I am very thankful for the brief encounters that we shared with Lester. May he rest in eternal peace and may the sweet memories of days past, carry you thru the days ahead until you reunite once again. With deepest sympathy.
