She bent over backwards and would go through hell for Me. She never took sides and would protect Her children fiercely. She loved My Daughter and grandkids like they were her own. She never let me down and always stood up for Me. I felt Her unconditional motherly love and support always. She treated me so well I felt like I was her favorite, but she would never take sides. I hope she's where she receives what she deserves. I'm sure she's happy with how great her children turned out to be. I hope she's with her first husband that she deserves and wishes to be with again sometime. She was a good ol girl! Sadly missed.

I really didn't know Helen, but I know that my brother and sister does and I hope she's resting peacefully in heaven
