Oatway Chris

I am very sorry to hear of Lester's death. He was a kind and loving man who was a good friend to my parents (Morris and Edie Burroughs) for many years. The Friday night crib games and pie were so enjoyed that they would "pre-crib" if they couldn't meet on Friday!

Our condolences to Dorothy and her family. I really enjoyed getting to know the two of you better after your move into the Wildrose Villas. I'll remember some of the times when Lester used to come down and walk the treadmill by my office. He was always such a gentleman. Our prayers are with you all at this time and in the days ahead. May good memories comfort you. Sincerely, Irene and Chris Sather
