Helen B. Balthazard

my bird died

To John & Donna and your families my condolences and deepest sympathy at this time of your loss.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

The lovely "princess" touched my heart with her slight smile that reminded me of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. We were ships passing in the night but the dignity of Helen, that she fought to keep and was able too because of her loving family; I will never forget and I will carry her forever in my heart. Your loss is huge Brandon, Roy and Denise but your gift of having had the "princess" to love is bigger.

I am so sorry. Nora Johnson/HMC

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently,...
