To the Glass Family:
I am so saddened to learn of Lester's death. Having been close in high school, it was good to reconnect at our reunion a few years back. My deepest sympathies to his mother, wife, siblings and children. Lester could always make me laugh with his wit and intelligence.

Dear Aunt Mildred, Ruth, Marsha, Mary & Family Members,

My Brother Bill contacted me Thursday evening, the 12th, informing me that your beloved Lester had passed way. My sincerest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this time of loss.

I immediately went back in time with memories of family visits to Kinderhook. I always enjoyed going to Uncle Walter's and Aunt Mildred's. How quickly the years have gone by. Again, I am so sorry. May God Bless you all.

Sincerely - Cousin Ed
