“Les is my first cousin, but was more like my little brother. His passing is so painful, yet we prayed for many years that his passing, when it came, would be peaceful. Thank you, dear God, for taking him home to you where we will all rejoice together again... just not yet. I love and miss you, Les. Rest in eternal peace, brother!!”
