Waldo,
I am heartbroken to hear of Lena's passing. She was such a gracious, classy lady, and you well know that I not only considered her a friend, but loved her like family. Mom and I will call you in the near future when things settle down a bit. I will be praying for you and the boys and please know that if I could be there I would. God Bless You, Love, Lou Ann
