My aunt Lena was very special to me . Fond memories of staying at her home many times, as well as sharing two vacations with her, once when I was 11, and again in 2011 when she was 76yo. Will always remember how sweet she was!

Not easy to say goodbye to such a lovely lady. My family was fortunate to celebrate many happy events with her and share in her life. Her family was so blessed to have such a loving, caring mother and grandmother. May great memories fill the void in your lives created by her passing.
