We are very sorry to see that Lena passed away, but believe that she is now enjoying the company of Ted in Heaven. It has been a very long time since we have seen her and most of our contact was via Christmas cards and Father Ted. Nonetheless, her loss is felt by us, too, and we offer sincere and warm condolences to all of the family.

Melanie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was such a neat, lovely, and amazing woman. So enjoyed our lunches and shopping with her when she visited you in California. My deepest sympathy to you, Jim, and your whole family. Love, Donna
