Ann, Jean, Viola. and Rosetta, I am so very sorry to learn of your lost. I only met Helena once or twice when Jean, Ann and I worked together at Howard Weil. I remember her sweet spirit and sincere smile, and how much she loved her sisters! Ann, I am praying for your strength as there is nothing like losing a mother.
Cling to your loving aunts and rest in God's unfailing love.
