Lena Mae Polk

TOO OFTEN PEOPLE TRY TO DEFINE WHAT MAKES A FAMILY. ALTHOUGH WE WERE NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, LENA MAE WAS OUR GRANDMOTHER. SHE WAS A PERMANENT FIXTURE IN OUR LIVES, SHARING IN ALL THE GOOD AND TRYING TIMES, WHICH MADE IT THAT MUCH EASIER TO LOVE HER. WE ALL HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HER AND HER KIND HEART. SHE WILL TRULY BE MISSED BUT I AM COMFORTED IN KNOWING THAT SHE CAN BE WITH MY GRANDFATHER ONCE AGAIN, BOTH OF THEM STANDING WITH GOD WATCHING OVER ALL OF US.

To the Walker family,


Safely Home
by Unknown

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so...

Sometimes Parents and Grandparents don't always come by way of blood relation but put in place to serve the role by our Creator! Lena Mae was a special person and just the person with a special purpose. I always thought that anyone who could put up with my Grandpop (Big Bobby) for as many years as she did...must be someone special...and certainly she was. There are certainly some funny memories visiting her and grandpop in New York. She had a way of keeping him under control that no one...

Christine and Family --

Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

To the Family of Lena Mae:

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Lena Mae. I've known her most of my life. Big Bobby's brother James is my former brother-in-law, although I never thought of James as an ex-brother-in-law. It's been many, many years since I've seen Lena Mae, but I remember her as a sweet and kind person. My prayers are with you and the Baltimore family. May God bless each and everyone of you.

With love,
Betty Lee
