Helen Jonas was my Great-Aunt Helen, her sister the late Lula Marie Reynolds was my grandmother. I remember as a child going to her house on Christmas Eve to see her and Uncle Ralph. My Great Grandmother (we called her Mamaw) lived with her, so we spent many happy christmas eve's with her. I feel sad to say that we lost touch with her after my grandmother passed away. Aunt Helen was a great lady who loved her family. She will be missed by many.
