  1. An absolutely wonderful woman. She would watch me after elementary school and pay me to weed her flowerbeds. Which was special to have some pocket money at that age. It was always a treat to go to aunt Helen’s as her home was yours.

    I am eternally grateful for this woman that I affectionately called mom. She was the first person to show me who Jesus was.
