I can’t believe you’re gone Helen. I’ve missed seeing you because of covid but you’ve always been on my mind. I’m really going to miss our laughs and time spent at Hebron. You were truly an amazing Godly woman and I will always treasure our friendship. I was so blessed to have known you and been your sister in Christ. I love you Helen .
