Helen Parker Ball

She is in my best summer memories. Riding in a vehicle up and down the road, all the kids together, sharing food, laughing and having big fun. I listened to the Aunties when they got to talking. She was wise. She told me she was attracted to Uncle Jessie because he was a Gentleman. I'll remember her as love itself. I will never, ever like her.

To The Hinton Family, I met Mrs. Hinton's sister in Greenville, NC owner of her funeral home. Not knowing i would ever met her sister, which had a beautiful smile. One of Mrs. Hinton's sayings were, I would say, I'm glad to see you, and she would reply I'm glad you can see me. God be the glory, she gained her wings no more pain, no more medicine. Love, Peace and Prayers.
