I knew Lenore in our grade school years of age. I used to visit my family on Loomis Blvd. from Oklahoma and got to know Lenore during those visits. I have always remembered her and actually relocated her about a year ago and had a very nice long phone call with her. RIP.

Ann and children:

From 2nd to 8th grade, Lenore and I were very good friends. We lived just 2 blocks from each other, walked back and forth to school every day, stayed over night at each other's houses, listened to music and danced to 45 records. She and I went downtown without parents for the first time when we were in 6th grade to hear "The Crew Cuts".
We were both part of the same larger gang. She stayed with them and went Mercy while I went to Longwood. Paths diverged for no good reason except we were both so busy with our lives. She was an important part of my growing up. My parents always like to have her over because she would tell them e everything
. that was going on and I did not. My condolences to you all

Dear Leah and Pat, So sorry about your mom,Leah. We were just talking about how
much pain and distress she was suffering. God works in such strange ways. You were so worried about her future and her care and now she is in the best care ever. Eternal happiness without an ache. Thinking of you on Saturday and your family is in our prayers. Moms are so special and she will be missed. Praying with you, Peg and Tony Willner at Saugana Lake.
