Forever in my heart Mom Basham

Wonderful woman and mother I had the pleasure of having in my life. Another angle gets her wings

Im sorry Ive been so tied up with my dads illness that I didnt comment before. I loved Helen. She was my friend and neighbor. She was like family, and Ill never forget her. Ever.

I love you, Lisa Basham. I will always treasure the memories I shared with you and your mother. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Tearful condolences to all of Helen's family and friends. She meant so very very much to us. Mary Catherine, hugs galore to you. Love, prayers, and support to all of you.

Helen was my surrogate mother when I lived with the wonderful Basham family in Philadelphia in 1971. I was part of an urban studies program during my sophomore year at Oberlin College that took me to teach in Philly. My condolences to the family- Helen was a warm, wonderful woman.
