Messages of Love

From family and friends

Robert And Sarah Bradley June 22, 2014

Lester was a real friend to us the years we were In Eagle Pass. While I was pastor at the Lighthouse Baptist Church, he was a faithful member and always an encouragement to me and my family. Since then also he has kept in touch with letters and even though our letters to him were often short we could always count on his answers as what our kids jokingly called " an epistle from Brother Lester". We send condolences to the family. You are all in our prayers. Thanks so much for notifying us of his passing. Sincerely, Rev. Robert Bradley and family.
