He will be missed by this Miller Medical Driver.
Mr. Lester was one of my best patients. He always had a smile for me no matter what he may have been going through. Along with that smile, he always made sure I had my cookies and a piece of fruit. He always made me feel welcomed and appreciated as I appreciated him. I tried to take care of him the same way he took care of me. And just before I would leave his home, he would always tell me that he loved me and I know that it came from his heart. Its people like him that makes my job worth while. So, Mr. Lester, thank you for the smiles, the cookies and fruit and I love you too. God bless you and all of your family during this time. Love, Jose, your oxygen man.
