Charlene & my family, I will always cherish the wonderful, fun memories of my cousin Lester. The awesome Sixth St days we shared as kids. Thank you for your love & kindness. Lester, you were an amazing man, who truly loved your wife & family. You will be forever missed cuz.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this very difficult time. Lester was an Angel to everyone he touched. I will always remember the good times and his bubbly personality. God has called his Angel home & has wrapped His loving arms around Lester. He was loved by all and will be missed dearly. God bless the family.

Lester was a leader. He was good to work with. During his time as Kraft Foods D Bacon Nirvana coordinator, good to work for. He did a tough job, he turned his life around. He was always there and I respected him for it.
There are some sad people on his team and those of us who regularly worked overtime with them. We laughed together, & now some of us may cry together. I know he fought for life. I also know he has been made whole in the image of God. Good bye my friend.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I got the honor of working for Lester a couple of years ago at Kraft. He was well liked by so many and leaves a wonderful legacy to his family. I've given up on my Chiefs this year and will be pulling for the Bears. Well done, brother! You'll be missed and remembered often...
