Linda, Glen and Wallace
So sorry to hear of Helen's passing. I can remember her fun personality when I was over your house thru the years. She made sure I felt at home there and I used to laugh at the funny way she spoke to "Snooby". I went to my first drive-in movie with Helen, Wallace and Linda. I believe it was "Song of the South". There was an innocence about those days, which we can never return to but we can remember, with fondness, that cool people like Helen were there enjoying it with us. My heart goes out to you.

Glenn - Our sincerest sympathies to you and your family. As we spoke earlier today, though the transition is very tough, there should be no doubt that she is now in a better place and from my own experience, I know that you will feel her presence and guidance in years to come.
God bless.
