My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Helen was always a beautiful, caring lady. She is now with my mother and all the saints that have gone before. Just know that she is in a better place than we are.

Mama and I just wanted to let you know that we were thinking about you. So sorry about Helen, I remember some good times spending the night at her home on Montford Ave. We rode by there to see if we could pick out the house and everything has changed so much. Mama said she thought Dawn had her home phone number she would love to hear from you. Call some time and maybe we could all get together for lunch or something. Love ya, Betty and Tinky.
