We are so Sorry for your Loss. Sister Helen was a Dear Sweet Lady whom we looked forward to seeing each time at church. Her being there at our womens Prayer Services was always a Blessing. She will be sorely missed! She was so much comfort to me when I lost my Mother a year and half ago, just knowing that she was Praying for my family. May God give you All the Strength and Peace you need at this time. Know that Sister Helen is Shouting on the Hills of Glory Now, in her Glorified Body, NO Pain, NO suffering, NO Sorrow, NO More Death. ALL IS PEACE FOREVER MORE! ‘LIFE’ has Just Begun! If there is anything Ken and I can do, Please call us. We LOVE YOU ALL!
