It has taken us awhile to express our sympathy for Helen. They are so many wonderful things to say and where do you start? We can make up our minds to live in this world as beautiful and kind and that is exactly how Helen lived. She loved her family and her friends. Helen always made you glad that you met her. What a beautiful lady. Our blessings to each of you. May God be with you.
