Sister Helen was a member of our Eastern Star Chapter in Las Cruces, New Mexico for 10 years. She was a gracious loving person and we enjoyed her and Brother Lew very much. When I was Worthy Grand Matron of New Mexico in 1996-97, Sister Helen was the Keeper of my memory books. She did such a beautiful job of making a very special set of memories for me. She was always so energetic and ready to join in what ever function we were having. She was very active in her church and took such good care of the love of her life Brother Lew. We miss her very much.
