Our sympathy to the Veenstra family
After reading Lena's Life Story, I echo your words that she was indeed a hardworking, caring, Christian lady. I was the store secretary at the Alpine Meijer store and knew Lena for many years. She was a delightful lady and I was blessed to have known and worked with her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of Lena's homegoing.
In Christ,

Lynne and Gerrit,
I have such fond memories of Lena, as she trained me when I joined the PollyAnna family way back in high school!
You are both in my thoughts and prayers during this time, knowing that Lena is enjoying her new healed body and mind.
Love,
