Beecher, Letty, Henry and Charles,
I loved your mother very much. She was an important part of my growing up years and she was my mother's dearest friend. I learned so much from observing her. She knew how to make everyone feel special. Her home was beautiful and welcoming. All of you were blessed to have her and so was I. Hugs and prayers, Helen Hamilton Heard
