Dear Melanie and Jolene,
You have been blessed to have had so many wonderful years with your special Mom. Aunt Lena was definitely the hostess with the mostest! Even in her 90’s! She made the most delicious foods including her famous pepperoni rolls! and her yummy desserts! Her sweet, friendly, caring, giving & faith-filled personality always made her a favorite to be with. I offer you my sincere heartfelt sympathy and condolences for the loss of your beloved dear Mom. May she Rest in Eternal Peace along with your Dad and Kim. All my love, Anne Maria Rostick

Dear Melanie and Jolene,
I am so very sorry for this sudden passing of your beloved mother. You were indeed blessed to have had her for such a long time and with her good health. I remember you two sharing stories of Little Lena while in Jaycees and Melanie, while in the Senate. You have many good memories to keep in your hearts, and know she is with her family and loved ones in heaven.
The jolt of her passing is difficult, as was my father’s, but the memories and blessings will sustain you.

I know I am one of many Block employees who savored your Mom’s delicious cooking; many years of pepperoni rolls for our year end party; soups and sauces. I loved how you called your Mom every day and your ring tone when she called you. I am glad I met her.

We are so sorry for your loss of Lena. I just ran across this and haven’t seen her in over 20 years . I used to own a hair salon on Mirkwood highway and she was my old client, got many years we had a lot of laughs and she loved our religion. So sorry for your loss of such a beautiful lady- Rip mrs Lena💔🙏 Yvette Trincia Snyder
