Aunt Lena I will miss you for a long time. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your funeral. I know you would understand. I agree with Sanford, she never failed to offer you food and plenty of it. I will always remember the last time I saw her. She was in the hospital and complaining of how horrible the food tasted and didn't want to eat. That evening she had a good supper. I sit with her and helped her eat till she couldn't eat no more. That was how we all would feel when we got up from her table at home. Sweet memories will always remain of Aunt Lena. I will miss her dearly. I know she is happy now and singing her heart out with the Angels. Love you Aunt Lena

When I was little Aunt Lena & Uncle Jess nicknamed me "Tony". I was at her house about as much as I was at mine. She called me son. She was like a mom to me. On Sundays either we were at her house for lunch or they were at ours. When we went to Aunt Lena's for dinner they had to put two sheets of plywood for a table outside, because she had so much food fixed. AW was more like my brother than a cousin. Whenever we went to her house she wanted to know if she could fix us something to eat. She was a very special part of my life and I will really miss her. I will see her again someday!

We didn't get to know Lena for very long, but myself I got to love her, and she was like family. She was a bright spot in church for me every Sunday she was there, and was so missed when she was not able to be there. We will miss her very much. Oh, but I know she is safely home, and so happy with Jesus. And that makes the missing her easier to bear. May God bless and help you through the hurt A.W., Carol, and family. I can't take the hurt away, only God can, but you know I would if I could. My prayers will continue being with each of you. A.W., read that little card every so often when you get to feeling to down, I know it will help. Think of it as Lena talking right to you. You know I still read it once in a while, because you know it helps for each person you lose, family or friend.
