Donna and family, I’m so sorry about losing your mom..I worked with you and Lesta at JCP in home dept and she was such a nice lady. Please know that Heaven received another angel…

Vicky and Donna, when we were kids, my mom told me your mom was her best friend. Between what your mom knew from her beauty shop and my mom knew from the general store, there wasn’t much going on in Easton they didn’t know about. Your mom was special and fondly remembered by my family long after we left Missouri. In fact, my Mom made a point of seeing her when she returned home for family visits.
I hope you can quickly recover from her passing, trading sorrow for happy memories. Its up to us now to remember, speak of and celebrate her. My family will be honoring your mom by recalling the happy memories she left for us.

My heart goes out to Vicky and Donna and their families. Lesta was such a great lady! When I was in elementary school, Lesta was my first professional beautician. I remember the beauty shop in her house so vividly. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of Lesta. She was so kind to me. She cut my hair and let me spend weekends with Vic. She was always there if you needed something.
A wonderful person!
