Lena and I were classmates at IC Norcom and though we had not been in contact since graduation, I saw her last year as we were planning for our 20th class reunion. She hosted our first meeting. I can't believe she's not here, but I am so blessed that God allowed me to reconnect with her before He called her home. She will truly be missed. My and my family's prayers are with her family for comfort and strength now and always. God Bless.

What a shock to know Lena is no longer with us. I had no idea she would leave so quickly. I remember Lena as a beautiful, naive girl who loved to laugh and at the same time was very shy. She always wanted to spend time with her family, especially her Father. Now they can enjoy each other in heaven. Lena, so sorry your life was cut short by an absolutely horrible disease. Claire, my heart feels for you - I can't imagine loosing a child. I pray for you to have the strength to endure this hardship. Patricia Anne

I met Lena at I.C. Norcom. We were always around after school for pactices - me for tennis and Lena for softball - walking the halls. We were in different classes - class of 89 & class of 91, but we went through the peer counseling training together. I will never forget her smile. The friendships we formed at ICN taught us lifetime lessons of respecting every person; thank God we had a chance to cross paths. May memories of her kindness encourage her family.
