Dearest Lester, A pin that you sent to me around 23 years ago at a low point in my life. You were surprised I still had it after we reconnected on Facebook after many years as well. I had many fun times and good memories of your family because of my friendship with all of you.
May you live in the house of the Lord forever. Amen ❤
