I was so sad to hear about Helen’s passing.
As a Stephen Minister for First Presbyterian, I had visited Helen regularly. It was such a pleasure and an honor to get to know her. She was such a kind and gracious lady. She touched my life in a very special way and I will truly miss her smile and wit. I was visiting her once when she had just gotten some shoes in the mail. She joked about her big feet! I always told her that she reminded me of my grandmother. I wish you and yours God’s grace and comfort as your hearts heal. Heaven has received a special angel, may she rest in God’s peace.
My Mom sat at same table for meals as your Mom…enjoyed visiting with her…my thoughts and prayers are with you!
