Trina, Larry, Hazel, Ethelyn, Mary Louise and the rest of the family, I'm immensely sorry for your loss, our family's loss of Hellena. She will be missed. Hellena was sweet and protective of the ones she loved and cared for. My fondest memory of her is her doing just that as she watched over her baby cousin. I'll always remember how safe she and Harry made me feel as a first grader in a brand-new school where I knew no one except them. Sorry I couldn't make it home for her homegoing celebration. May God Bless her soul, and I'll be keeping you all in my prayers. Be blessed family. --Sharon (Helen's daughter and Bubba's sister) Carrollton, TX.
