    My condolences to every one of Helen's family and friends. Though I didn't know her well, I really enjoyed listening to her stories of our family and seeing the pictures she had of my grandma, Lula Mae, and her siblings when they were young. Helen was such a nice and welcoming soul; I wish I could have spent more time with her. Rest in peace Helen. ❤
