I have fond memories of my Auntie Lena, especially her cooking and delicious feasts. I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak with her shortly before she left us. She was sharp and recalled many fascinating family stories. Her 90th birthday party was a grand celebration. We will miss you.

Lena will be remembered fondly and will be missed by all. She was a "lady", a great cook, and always with a beautiful smile.

OH Dear Lena, My memories of you run deep, and I cherish that you were in my life. You helped me with my son when he was young, cooked me beautiful dinners and helped me at a time when I needed it the most! Please look over us and care for all of the children in heaven, and we will see you someday:)
