The Ernie Biggers Family...Janice, Ann, Susan and Tripp have nothing but fond memories of Lena and Woody. Especially on Markwood when we raised our children together. We had such fun. And even though we have not seen each other very much in recent years, she will be missed.

Ken.....Reading of your mother's passing reminded me of you and the time I spent the night at your home when we were in the second grade at Holy Souls School. Your Mom and sisters made sure I did'nt get too homesick for my mom. I will always remember her kind and reassuring nature. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Will always remember how kind Lena and Woody were when I moved here from Michigan to join Regina in caring for her mother, Isabell. You made me feel at home here in Arkansas.

I will always remember Ms. Lena's smile and joy. She was always so friendly and had a kind word for everyone. My mother, Geneva Howerton, so enjoyed having you all for neighbors. My prayers are with you during this time.

During the many years we were neighbors, Lena shared her smiles, her wonderful cooking, and most of all her loving friendship. We will miss her, but never forget her. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
