Lena was the epitome of the Italian Matriarch, and she loved her entire family with her whole heart. Lena gently imparted wisdom and guidance on a variety of subjects, and she was a role model for loving wives everywhere. Lena encouraged each member of the family to soar to the heights of their chosen profession and celebrated their successes. I had the privilege of being intertwined with the entire Degraw family, and I count it a great honor to have known Lena personally. Although I realize the family will experience a certain amount of grief at losing this amazing woman, I know that they are comforted knowing that she is with her beloved Earl once again. Rest in peace, lovely Lena. You have earned it.
