I will miss the light of Helen's presence. Her journey with us has been fulfilled and her peace has started. She does not need our prayers, for she exists as an angel with the Lord and is praying for us. Claire I am blessed to have known Helen and the positive energy she touched us with. May her peace be your peace at this time.
