Such a neat funny lady! I know her passing is sad but I hope you soon will only remember the great times. We will miss seeing her for all the family gatherings. It was always such fun to hear about things from her perspective.
Jean - I know you will miss your "best bud". I know she will be watching down on you from above. Just remember she will always be content if she knows you always have a more than adequate supply of toilet paper!! (Private Funny) I loved to hear her chuckle as she told that story!!
All my love and prayers for this tough time!

George & Margaret - We are so sorry for the loss of your mother.  Mothers give so much and ask for so little and I'm sure she has left many happy and loving memories for her family.  God Bless.

Margaret, George & Family -

I am so glad Lena lived in Texas for a while so we could all enjoy her and get to know her better. She was quite a character and loved her boys (and all her family).

Love, Mike & Pat
