I remember Lena filling up a bag full of candy to give us when we came into the store trick-or-treating. She was such a generous lady.

I will never forget Lena. She was such a wonderful and smart lady. I loved going into the store with daddy as a little girl and seeing Lena. She will be missed by all who knew her. I admired her so much.

Ms Lena will be missed. My brothers and I share great memories of visiting the store. Our family (The Hubbards) will be praying for the Blair family.

Lena was such a nice lady. I have many fond memories of going with my Daddy to the store and visiting with Lena and Wyatt when I was a little girl. I know you all will miss her. You have our deepest sympathy.
