I loved Mrs Lena and Herb. So sorry to hear of her passing. They were part of our church family in Clarksville for many years. They loved my children as if they were their own. She will be dearly missed. Sorry for your loss. My prayers and condolences go out to the family.

How I loved this sweet lady...I always sat with her at church and she said I was her own personal heater. Heaven welcomed another saint today.
