So sorry the loss of your Mom. She was a very sweet person.

The first thing I remember of Mama Lena is playing cards. Having good food, and enjoying the conversation of the women in the group she always tried to make everybody feel home,and then she became a stinker and teased. She is sorely going going to be missed by all.
