Lena was such a good friend to us and we enjoyed her company so much. She always seemed to enjoy it when we’d bring the dogs over to see her. She was a beautiful lady and we loved her very much…may God’s blessings be upon all who mourn her passing but rejoice in knowing we will see her again one day!
Jimmy, Deb and Butch,
So sorry to hear about your Mom passing. We have been remembering some good times from back in the day; her taking the Super 8 camera footage of Prom our senior year–it was really cool looking at that on our 10 year reunion. Also the times Lena would come over to our house for tea and fresh johnny bread with my Grandma Kate, Aunt Marie and my mom—sometimes they really got to laughing it up.
Y’all and your family are in our thoughts and Prayers
Love you buddy
Jim,
So sorry to hear of your mother’s death. She was a very nice lady. We were out of town on Friday and could not get to her calling hours. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
