Lena was a wonderful nurse and neighbor. When I was a young nurse, she taught me so much when we worked together at the Parmley Residence in Chisago City. Her love and kindness for people was Lena's signature trade mark. I will never forget her. She is on the Best Nurses I have ever Known List, Shirley Davis

Lena always had a smile for my family and I everytime we would see her. And in searching my memory I cannot remember a time in which I have seen her with anything less to greet you. Her and her husband would always make my family feel as though we were a part of their's.
Dear Lord you have given us the pleasure of knowing Lena, I ask that you give strength and Love to those who have known Lena, for it is a big loss for us here on Earth. We thank you for the love she has given...

Lena Berg was a special friend. We enjoyed many shared times with Lena and Oscar. Their tree farm brought lots of joy to my children. Lena would have a little something for Alan and Brian and of course a little tree for their bedroom..(doesn't every child have their own little tree). We loved her and she always was full of wise advise. Lena you were the most intelligent, common sense, chrismatic, loving person that Ray and I have ever known. We love you.
