I didn't know Lena well but am a patient of her husband, Dr. Ulahannan. I am reminded of her memory when I come into the office for my checkups. She would smile and say hello when she saw the patients. I have very sweet memories of her and I feel for the family as they adjust their lives after their loss. God Bless you all.

My sincere heartfelt prayers go out to Dr. Ulahannan & his family. Was so surprised to read of her passing. My last time seeing her was at Kohl's & I gave her a big hug. She said I'm a grandmother now & couldn't wait to show me a picture of her first grandchild. I shall always remember that bright smile on her face when showing the picture. She was thrilled to be a grandmother. I'm sure she will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Peggy Salamacha
