You will be missed!

Helen, I am going to miss you. Helen was a big sister to me and, with Tom's help, they helped me through some hard times in the 1970's. When my wife, Michelle, and I moved to Kansas we lost contact with her and Tom but I never stopped thinking of them. Helen had a driving compassion to help people, even allowing them to stay in her house for a period of time. I know this because I was a recipient of that act of compassion. Helen and Tom, I say thank you with all my heart. Jeff, Marci, Missy, and Tom my thoughts and prayers are with you all. My heart is breaking that I can not be there with you at this time. May God's love surround you, the warmth of His Holy Spirit be upon you, and his peace be with you always. Monty Bench
