Lena was my friend and sister in Christ. Always happy to see you and quick with a hug and smile. We sang together in choir and on occasion we would act up a bit. She loved to laugh and joke. I would say the one word to best describe Lena is genuine! Genuine in friendship. Genuine in kindness. Genuine in love. And a genuine follower of our lord. Tears fill my eyes and heart. Tears of sadness because I’ll miss her. Tears of joy because she is on to be with God. Hugs and kisses my dear friend. I’ll miss you so very much.

I always called Lena “lovely Lena.” She was truly a lovely lady! She had grace, style, an awesome sense of humor and a strong faith. How could you not love Lena! She will be so missed in the choir, and missed by everyone she knew.
