Lena's memory will be eternal.  Her true love for Christ extends beyond time and space where she will meet all her loved ones.  The only thing that mitigates the falling asleep of our loved ones is the resurrection.  Lena knew this quite well.  "Blessed is the way wherein she walks today, for there is prepared for her a place of rest."  Your are greatly loved, +Fr.Dean & Pres. Roxanne

Our dear Lena was strong, bright, and faithful.  Once, when I asked her what her secret of successful living was, she said, "I am constantly in prayer". She leaves us a magnificent role model to emulate.  Her memory will be eternal.

May Lena’s memory be eternal. I will miss her and always remember her strong, uplifting spirit that served us all so well. She was a kind and joyful presence for St. Basil. I was so, so happy to be there to celebrate her 100th birthday!
