Dear Helen,
We are very sorry to hear the sad news of your dear Granny passing away. You must have had many, many grand times together. How lucky the 2 of you were to have each other and how lucky we are to have you for a friend. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. May you take comfort in knowing that Mattie is in a better place with our dear Christ and her good times continue eternally.
Bless You Always,
Jacqueline & Dave Olson & Boys.

Dear Helen,
I know you and Granny had a very special relationship...she loved you so much and your daughters and grandchildren. I feel honored that I got to meet your Granny. She was a very fine strong woman and I see a lot of Granny's qualities in you. You will need to carry on where Granny left off. I believe she is in heaven with Jesus and watching down on you and your family. You are so blessed to have had your Granny for so long. I know that you, Brittany and Barbara will never forget her. May you remember all the good years you were blessed with Granny, may you remember all the times you made her happy and proud when you sang for her. She loved you in a very special way, she lives through you Helen.
I pray your pain at this time goes away and eventually turns to sweet memories of your beloved Granny.
Love,
Claudia
