I was sorry to see Virginia passed away. I worked with lester at the bus garage and i got to know her. She was a nice lady. I stopped to see them last year and i sat and chatted with lester and virginia for about an hour. I was saddened that Lester didnt remember me as he is having memory issues. Virginia did remember me and she explained to Lester who i was. I was so glad i stopped that day. I will always remember my times at Forestville and Lester and Virginia. I hope Lester is doing ok at this time.

We each remember Judy in our own ways.
Lucy remembers a loving sister and the many, many moments to hold forevermore.
And Raymond remembers a kind and thoughtful lady that came to trust him. And for that he shall always be so
very grateful.
We each look forward to seeing Judy again, and wish her well on the next leg of her life’s journey.
