Sorry to hear of the passing of Helen. Helen had a sparkling personality that caught the attention of many people. Her love for life was shown through how she lived her life. She fulfilled many of her goals and was quite successful. Her acts of kindness will never be forgotten by our Heavenly Father. May your family find comfort reflecting on her life. Reading and meditating on God´s word the Bible will also bring you comfort.
