All my prayers to the Helton family. Although James and I never met, I feel the brotherly connection, being a Civil Engineering Technician myself, and working for many, many years with his wonderful daughter. I know he was certainly a great man thru Anita's ethics on life and the kindness in her soul. God Bless your family.
