One of the funniest people I've ever met. No one had a sense of humor quite like her, and I was blessed to have the time with her that I received. Her young soul and energetic spirit will live on forever in all of us. Miss you already Grandma Helen. Hope the bartender in heaven makes your rum & cokes just how you like them.
