Sorry to see this in the news today. I met Lena many times and she was a real sweet lady. I was close to Peter before he left us, and think of him often... every time I need a haircut. Knowing them both was a true pleasure. May they rest in peace together again. Condolences to the family for their loss. Don Cottrell & Kimberly Ehler
