In Memorium

On Wednesday morning, Lorena Elementary School lost one of our precious students, Evan Abel. Evan lost his battle on Earth​ to a rare disease. LES will always hold a special place in our heart for such an amazing young man.

The family will receive visitors on Saturday, May 23 from 1-3 p.m. at Pecan Grove Funeral Home and services will held at First Baptist Church Woodway at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 24.

Thank you Evan for giving us such great memories and showing us true courage!
