Not sure what to say?

Billy so sorry to learn of Lena’s passing. We know your memories will be full of joy. Boots and Lewis Turner

To Bill and family,
We are so very sorry about Lena. Such a sweet lady and could make anything. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Thankful for the promise of heaven.
Love,
Tommy and Tammy Davis (SWBC)

I worked with Lena many years ago. She was our 'go to' person, be it work related or just needed a friend to talk to. She was a hard worker who exhibited the value of being a hard worker and doing a good job. Lena loved her family. She once invited me to attend a band competition in Danvile where her daughter was competing as a member of BHS High School Marching Band. Lena was so proud of her. Lena made a difference in the lives of many. Condolences to her husband, daughter, and family....

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You were one in a million.

Lena was a very sweet lady. I remember when us kids in the neighborhood would be out playing and running wild like we always did, she would bring us something to drink to cool us off. Prayers for Bill, Christy and all the family

You will be missed.

Prayers for All of her Family and Friends. So Blessed to have her as a Neighbor. No more Pain.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Lena. Condolences to the family.
