Condolences. I think Lester visited my late husband and myself in Tarawa, in the early 1980s. Norman Healey was a UK United Reformed Church minister working for the Kiribati Protestant Church.

The Rev Lester Reid has been part of my family's story for as long as I can remember. He was our much loved minister in Ngongotaha, where the church was such an important part of our little community. Over the years my mother would remind me that I was the first baby he christened - apparently he was worried he might drop me! I remember a special person - someone who not only took the Sunday service, but was an everyday friend to my parents.They loved and respected him.

Dear Lester, well done good & faithful servant; go in peace. I still have & treasure that wonderful letter you wrote to me when I left the Parish Office.
Dear Marion & family, I pray that you will find God's peace at this time. I know you will all have wonderful memories of Lester, such a gentle man & great preacher who loved his family dearly.
Kindest regards, Maureen Shannon.
