Helen McAllister was a Dear Special Cousin. As children, my siblings and I looked up to Helen for - what my mother called "Good Example". Helen was generous and kind. She participated in family gatherings with enthusiasm and joy. She was dearly loved by her aunt-Sister Agnes Regina Dugan: S.C. Helen had a deep faith in a loving God. My condolences to her lovely daughters Cathy, Diane, and Susan and their Families. Love and prayers to her sister Margaret Jean Gray. Helen may your soul rest in peace with our Dear God, The Angels and Saints.
