Ms Lena was always the Diva. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. God bless you all
My deepest sympathies to the family for your loss. Nothing can prepare us for the grief and pain of loosing a loved one. Psalms 34:18 tells us that “God is close to the broken-hearted “ May it comfort you to know God is eager to restore life to those who have fallen asleep in death and promises to do so by means of a resurrection (John 5:28,29) to a Beautiful Paradise earth with sickness,pain, and death being removed forever (Revelation 21:4), As you remember your loved one may these verses bring comfort to your family in the days to come.
A Large Dish Garden was ordered on March 1, 2019
I only have fond memories of Aunt Lena from the time growing up to now. Our hearts are with Rita, Robert and the family in this time of sorrow and celebration of the journey she is on.
With Love,
Gary and Marcie Ford
