Whenever I see handmade lace, I think of Helen Meeting. The intricacies of her creations was fascinating. I feel blessed that I got to know the Meetings in Little Switzerland, if only for a few years. My life was certainly enriched for having done so. May her family feel peace and comfort. God bless.?
