Dear Dale and Family, Our mutual love of The Lord brought us together for three years of Flock Bible Study in your home. We have sweet memories of those years. Our friendship began then and has been a blessing for 24 years. Helen has been my prayer partner for 24 years. She is with our Lord now and we miss her very much already. Helen was a Proverbs 31 woman. She had the warmest smile, the biggest heart, the sweetest laugh, the brightest eyes, and gave the best hugs. She lived her life in joy, loved her family and friends, served her church and will be profoundly missed. She was a kind woman who encouraged and inspired us. We will all meet on the other side one day. May God our Father, keep you all in his care. You have our deepest sympathy.
