    I am so sorry for your loss. Lena was a very kind, devoted person. She was always a wonderful "Meemaw" to Jason and he loved her very much. I have some great memories of her, Frank and Jason playing together when he was small. I am sure all of you have many great memories to cherish and keep her memory with you. You are all in my prayers.
