Uncle Lester was my favorite of all my uncles. He always made me smile. My dad, Fred Long, loved his youngest brother and will be greeting him in heaven. So sorry for his passing but he struggled long enough. He is in a much better place with our Lord. Bless all his children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Love to all,
Nadine Long LaFleur
