Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the entire Lester family. Mrs. Elizabeth was a wonderful, very special lady and she will be missed dearly. God Bless one and all!
I knew Mrs. Lester, Clyde and the whole wonderful family from 1977 when they sponsored my boat racing. I always like to go by Red Wing for parts and a visit. I liked Mrs. Lester a lot and am glad that she had a long, good life!
