So sorry to hear the news. I remember so many times when I was hanging out with Mark during elementary through high school that LeNora would always have a smile and would make sure we had a snack if we wanted. She was kind hearted and always wanted to make sure we were having fun. I will always have good memories of her. She will be missed. Prayers to all of the family.

Ann, Jean and families- I am sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of your mom including how she graciously hosted our teenage Friday night gatherings. She was a second mom to all of us. She always had a kind word to say about my family and she had a contagious laugh. I will keep you and your families in my prayers.
