Lena M. DiPaolo

My deepest condolences to the family, may you find comfort and strength from the God of all comfort in this difficult time (Isiah 26:19)

I am deeply sorry for your loss. God has given us a life span of 70 and 80 years if we are strong. Psalms 90:10. May you celebrate a life well lived and loved by many.

To Donna and family, I remember your Mom as a loving person who treated me like a member of her family when I went to Pittsburgh one year with you for Mother's Day. It meant the world to me. Years later she sent me a crocheted afghan that I still use frequently. It always makes me think of her and her how thoughtful she was of others.

To Donna, Phil and the rest of the DiPaolo family -- Jorge and I share in your sorrow at the loss of a woman that lived a rich and inspiring life. To my dear Donnita, you are the daughter that your mom taught well to love and respect all types of people and give your best, as she did. You and Phil and the rest of the family are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. She is now smiling at us all, in a much better place.

I was very privileged to have known Lena, and also Phil, from Easter Sunday, in Ottawa, Canada, of 1993 and subsequent Easters were spent with Donna (who was my co-worker at the American Embassy), Phil and Lena in Donna's apartment. I became "a member of the family" and celebrated later birthdays of Lena in Pittsburgh, once totally surprising her that I came for her party (which she did not know about) and being a party to the surprise. Lena was one of the kindest, most loving and giving...

I am sorry for your loss. May Mrs. DiPaolo rest now and be safe in God's memory.

Donna, Phil, and Vince, We are sorry for your loss of Lena, this very sweet and lively lady, and you are in our thoughts during this time of sadness. Your mother lives on in our hearts and in the many kind ways that she has passed on to you.

Donna, Phil, and Vince: Your mother's easy laugh and sweetness will always live on in the hearts and memories of all those who knew her. She has passed her kind ways on to you so you can treasure each other. You are in our thoughts during these sad days. Marie and Bill, Matt, Kathryn, and Teri

May the God of all Comfort, comfort you and your family, in this your time of need.
