I loved Helen. When she moved from Crown Park in Belton we lost touch. It was my pleasure to be her neighbor and offer a helping hand whenever needed. She loved our purple lilacs in the yard and we would look the other way when she was sneaking a cutting for her table. Lovely lady, you are and will be missed. God rest your soul.
