Helen was another one of those I met when I moved here. No matter where we ran into one another she always took the time to ask how I was doing. She always requested a hug thus transferring her warmth to me.
God welcomes another Angel to his special place. Take special care of this wonderful giving person.
To her family how lucky you were to have her in your life for 99 years. Bless all of you.
