Helen was an incredible person. She was so much more than a friend,she was an inspiration. Her presence in my life has not only been a blessing but has made me a bettter person. She had such a love for life, her family, and her friends. There wasn't a day that went by that she didn't have a story to share about her husband, children, or especially her grandchildren. If you knew Honey, you knew her whole family, whether you had been introduced or not. I hope you all know that she raved about you all constantly, she was very proud of all of you. I am gonna miss her terribly.
