Helena Lancaster Kelley Root

Tom and Maude, I am so sorry for your loss. Helena was such a wonderful person and I will truly miss her. She loved her family so very much and always talked about her wonderful children and grandchildren. She was like a surrogate grandmother to me, she adored my girls and always told me she loved me when we were saying goodbye. She battled vision loss for many years and always did so with dignity and grace. Well, I guess it is my time to say goodbye now. Love you Helena, rest in peace.

All of us at Metrolina Association for the Blind were so sorry to hear about Helena's passing. She touched many people's lives in our agency and was a pleasure to work with and get to know on a personal level. What an extraordinary woman - she will be missed.

Maude and Tom,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope the hole in your heart will be quickly filled with wonderful memories of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
