Remember working with Lena in the computer room at the Sands in Atlantic City. She was a funny lady. She always kept us laughing with jokes and funny sayings. Never a dull moment with her. We shared stories on Facebook. She will be missed.

My girl ! Ms. Purnell, my heart broke when I heard this news. I will miss you so much and all the laughs we shared. You still had so much life ahead of you. We never got around to doing dinner and a shopping trip. I love you dearly and I know your babies (puppies) are missing you so much. I will cherish the memories <3

I met Hilena in 5th grade at Bank Street School. I remember even then that she was warm and friendly and so funny! I moved to Florida many years ago so have been out of touch. I feel incredibly blessed to have seen Hilena last month at the Bridgeton High School 50th class reunion. She welcomed me with open arms as if no time had passed. RIP beautiful soul.
