She will be missed in so many ways by her entire family, particularly by our inability to make apple butter without her. She alone decided how much sugar, how much cinnamon and when it was done; never by measurement, always by taste. Thank you for the great memories and stories we will all share with our grandchildren. Lena’s family would like to express gratitude for care, love and compassion shown to our mother by her caregivers and staff at The Village of Riverview Assisted Living.
