My sincere sympathy to your family at this time, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
As a VEC co-worker of Helen's for many years there is no doubt in my mind that the first thing she said when she got to heaven was who is in charge here, this place needs to be organized. So by the time we get there she will have it all organized for us.

My deepest sympathy to the Riddick and Lamb families. Helen and I grew up in the Oakwood Section of Norfolk and I recall, she and I use to take piano lessons together @ the Oakwood Chapel Church! She always made you laugh and was a very pleasant person.
