I remember Miss Helen so well....and that big Cherry tree that was in her yard. She cut our hair when we were kids as we lived right up the street from her. Such a sweet lady.
Sincere condolences to the Jones family.

My grandmother, a woman who was born at the end of WWI (1918), lived through the Great Depression, WWII, the Civil Rights Movement and saw the election of America's 1st African-American President, passed peacefully into eternal rest (Sunday, January 9th, 2011). She was an inspiration to many friends and her entire family. I am blessed to have such a wonderful grandmother and will always treasure the memories & wisdom she has left with me.
