Prayerful sympathy on the loss of your dear "Mom". I graduated with Helene---we led processions in grade school as we were the shortest!
I often visited Good Street and she continued to be a good friend. I think this is the first Christmas we did not correspond.
You are and will be in prayer.

For my Aunt Helene who I will dearly miss. She was a light in my life, with a sense of humor and a wit and a heart of gold. I loved her very much and I will miss her. Thanks for turning me on to the J.D. Robb books! Everytime I read another one, I will think of you!
