My husband Ernie and I met Helen and Andy in the early 1980's. They became part of our weekly bible study group by opening their home for weekly bible study. My condolences go out to all her children and grandchildren asking God to give them peace about her passing. I shall miss getting to visit with Helen and going out to lunch with her.
She is now in the Lord's kingdom singing and dancing with her husband and friends.
