Dear Carol,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will never forget when the two of you came to visit me after my back surgery. She's out of pain now.

Carol, our thoughts are with you. Helen was a wonderful lady, and she brought so much happiness to my mom. I'm sure they're together again and having a blast :-)
