I see that Lester was a deacon in his church. I hope that he truly turned his life around. I hope that someday I can forgive him for my lasting my brother when he was just a young boy in the 70s
So sorry to hear of Lester's passing. Have been friends for many years, but was out of town during the funeral. Prayers for the entire Murph Family.
I played football with Lester in Smackover. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a good friend.
We pray God's love on Katie and family. We loved Lester as a friend and brother. His devotion was a beacon to many. Lester, you are missed and loved.
Katie & Family,
Robert & I are so sorry to hear about Lester. He was a good man and a great friend. As we both lived on 12th St growing up, we played together and went to school together. Lester will certainly be missed but we have the assurance of seeing him again. Our love to you all.
I'll remember Lester as a giving guy who was more concerned with others than himself and a great guy!
Rachel I am so sorry for your lost you and your family are in my prayers we love y'all
I am so saddened to learn of Lester's passing. Glad you guys were able to attend the last class get-to-gather. I am sure Lester enjoyed that. I remember Lester as always protecting the not so popular classmates making them feel a part of the group. I am sure there was a lot of appreciative classmates for that. He will be missed by all who knew him. I will be praying for and thinking about you all during this time of grief.
I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Murph's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.
So sorry for your loss
Katie, Rebecca & Rachel
Donna and I are so sorry for your loss. Lester was one of my closest friends and I will miss the conversations we had and the many memories of being neighbors. You are in our prayers.
Katie so very sorry to hear of Lester's passing. You and the girls are in my prayers.
