The passing of Helen Elizabeth Rogers is so sad. But the light I see in her great granddaughters eyes will shine on. I know her love has passed on to her wonderful daughter Kris, granddaughter Kim and great granddaughters Elizabeth and Helen. What a wonderful woman they will always have in their heart. They are blessed. Love you. Tutu

Sending love and warm wishes and lovely prayers in your direction! So glad I got a chance to visit with Aunt Helen at the Boardman reunion a few Summers Back. Was going through some ol black and whites of the Marstons and always loved the spirit that came through in Helen's face.
