To the Fouraker family: we are completely lost for words. Not only has Bryceville lost a treasure of a man, but so have we here in Tennessee. The past two years we have grown so very close to you guys and feel as if we have lost a family member also. Mr. Lester was the type of man you look up to, repected, and enjoyed being in his company. He had a heart as big as the sea and many will benefit from that for many years to come. We can not walk anywhere in our home or Randy's shop that we don't see his imprint. We thank God for the joy of knowing him. We will continue to keep all of you in our prayers and think of you daily. We love you all.

December 5, 2010

Judy and family, What a fine man Lester was! We're so thankful to God for you both and the decisions you made together. His example, and heart of love blesses us daily through Rhett. We lift you all up in our prayers for the peace that only God can give during this time of loss. Love from our family to yours, Donna and Richard Cross, Ryan and family, Raleigh and Delores Dixon, Steven Dixon, Arlene Cross and Anchorage family.
