Barb, everyone, I'm sorry I'm just now discovering that Helen's gone. She was such a treat - some of my favorite afternoons were spent chatting over the fence (with one other yard in between, but that's another story). She was a good friend to have when I first moved to this neighborhood, and stayed that way for many years, always with a scratch behind the ears for my dogs. Helen will always be one of my favorite people.

May I offer my sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time in your lives. Please let the "God of all comfort" be with you to strengthen you. Remember age is a number to let you know how long you live. Eternal life is forever and has no age requirement. Rest in the peacefulness of paradise Helen.
