    Your Condolence Message:: Ralph, Ray, and Brenda and all the extended family, my thoughts are very much with you right now. I feel so lucky and blessed to have known Lena. Gosh, but your wife/mom/grandma was the most wonderful hostess. The coffee pot was always on. She and Ralph always took in us strays for holiday meals and set a beautiful table. I very much miss her peanut butter fudge at Christmas! The best I’ve ever tasted. She had many, many talents, and was a very strong woman throughout her life. I will always admire her. Love to all of you!
