Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Helen and her family were dear to me. We met in 9th grade and remained friends. I will miss our long telephone conversations and visits until her accident.My heart goes out to Tip, her daughters, and grandchildren. If you spend more than 5 minutes with Helen you will not have to worry about where she is. Her soul is resting in the arms of her Lord and Savior. Rest well, my sister. You fought a good fight.
