Aunt Helen was one of a kind. Always had a smile, was a very loving person. She is now with her
sisters and brother and I'm sure they are enjoying the get together again.

I sat with Helen on Wednesday afternoons and sometimes she slept and sometimes we watched TV together while chatting. No matter how she was feeling or what was going on she always was so gracious and kind hearted. What I will miss most of all was her beautiful smile as you would open the door she would always greet you. Always in my prays you will be. Love Susan
