I'll always remember Helen for her great love and her sweet personality. She didn't have a mean bone in her body! She and Harland are my idea of perfect parents and they are my model for a long loving marriage. I'm blessed to have known them. I believe they are together again where they belong. My love and prayers to Sharon, Susan and Kelly.
