Aunt Lenna will be missed. I have happy memories of her at the lake house on our summer visits.
I grew up as a neighbor to Burt and Lee Ann and always loved Lenna! My friend who grew up with us also was at Moir Park today and saw her bench. We lived at “the circle” in Bloomington. I know it’s long past her death, but if you have a way to contact her husband, son or daughter, please pass along that she was a GIFT to the world. My name is Coleen Tully, brother Jim Tully. Kari Kache was who found the bench. Thank you.
