Mrs. Helen,
In our lives we come across many people, but very few times GOD puts our own special angels in our lives, and that is what you were and still are to me. It is extremely difficult for me to write this Mrs. Helen, cause starring at your pic, I can still hear your voice, saying, "Yolanda girl",and following up telling me whatver I needed to hear. Id give anything to hear you call my name again. I love you Mrs. Helen. You made North Carolina and St Aug a home away from home for me. You were such a beautiful sweet spririt. Not only did you effect me from the time I meet you in 99, you made everyone at St Aug, feel special. You were just what I needed being in North Carolina away from DC. I am tearing up just typing this Mrs. Helen. Though you are no longer a physical angel, I know you are an angel in heaven being a blessing up there as you were down here. Blessing should have been your middle name. That is what you were to me and so many others. I CANT believe your gone, but at least I have the memories to last me beyond a lifetime. I love you and miss you, and though this is hard to process, I know one day I will see you again. Rest in your much deserved peace, Mrs. Helen. Must be nice to hear God say well done, welcome home.
