From the time I meet Lenora, I felt that this women was a very special lady. I sure did love her wit and spunk. My prayers go out to the family, for this lovely lady was a gift to us all.

My childhood memories are full of Aunt Lenora. I loved 24th of July BBQs in their beautiful backyard and going to California and Lava Hot Springs nearly every summer. We even took a huge all girl road trip to Mount Rushmore. She was always hosting bridal and baby showers with a flare. Aunt Lenora treated me like her own daughter and I felt her love always. The last time I spoke with her a few weeks ago she was ready to move on and reunite with her eternal sweetheart. For this reason I am very happy for her.

Dear Bob, Ann and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Lenora was a joy to visit over the years. She was a classy lady! My love, Kim Gillett

Your mother was a lovely lady with a lot of courage. I was glad I got to visit with her at a family reunion. My sincere condolences go to the family. It's hard to lose loved ones, but I can just imagine what a grand reunion she had with her beloved husband. Take care and support each other through this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear my great Aunt Lenora has passed on. My mom always spoke so highly of her and uncle Lloyd! She was the last survivor of that generation and she will be missed. At the reunion we had last summer, I thought she was the cutest little old lady with her comments, she seemed to be such a delight to be around. I love all of you, Snarr's and I am sorry I won't be there to pay my final respects to such an adored woman of our family. I know she was welcomed with open arms by many who have passed on before. I Love all of you!
