Lester Piske and family
I will always remember her infectious laugh and her feisty side. I remember her getting on to us girls and she was one woman you didn’t want to make mad! LOL She is a jewel and will be greatly missed. I take comfort in knowing there’s a party going on in Heaven. I can hear my Dad saying, “Dang Rose, what took you so long to get here?” I send my love, thoughts and prayers of comfort to Linda, Susan and the entire family.
