My thoughts of Ms Marshall have always been on my mind, even after, when I used to work for Avante. I saw her everyday. I always loved Lena, she was such a loving, sweet, kind and a very beautiful lady to me. I was so hurt and so bothered reading about her passing. I will miss her so very much. I offer my deepest condolences to all of her family, and who she always spoke of George Warner, her son.
