Dear Helen, I miss you so much! I would call you or you would call me. And we'd get to talking about gardening, life etc. and pretty soon we'd be laughing, trying to talk over each other! Thank you for all your caring. I know you are in Heaven now watching over us. And you can dance and garden and do all the things you want to do. Love you, your sister, Marylou

Dear Friend, I know God brought us together again after so many years of separation. We grew up and matured only to find out you also loved Our Precious Lord. After so many conversations reminiscing barely escaping the fun times...God was so good keeping us in His fold...When I heard the news I couldn't sleep, the one song that always reminded me of you popped into my head "Spirit In Sky"...I looked it up and realized it was a Jesus song...I knew then why it always reminded me of you...Farewell My Friend Till We See Each Other Again...

I still can't believe you're not here. I forget and want to ask how you are. I know you are whole again and dancing and singing up in Heaven. Even though you are up there with our Lord and Savior, I wish Heaven weren't so far away. You taught me to be strong and for you, I will keep trying to be.

Dear Helen, even though you are gone, you are not forgotten. You had a wonderful sense of humor and you are surely missed. I still can't believe you are gone but the Lord needed you in Heaven with him. You are free now and your pain has ended. Now we need to let you go too. Love you dear sister. May you rest in Peace.
