I am one of Helene's sister quilters in Falls Church. I enjoyed sharing her love of creativity and so grateful I got to share quilting with her. Her service yesterday was so heart-warming and inspiring. I am in awe of her many talents - in both the arts and sciences. My prayers and positive thoughts are with all her family members. I know that your many memories - and the legacy of her quilts -- will keep her spirit close always.
