  1. To Don and the family,

    She will be missed. I always told her that I wanted to grow up to be as good at quilting as she was. She has the best ideas of what goes together and wasn’t afraid to use it. I always looked forward to working on her quilts.

    May God bless you and comfort you in your time of grief.

  2. Don, Elsie and family, Helen was a wonderful lady and will surely be missed. What comforts us is we know she is in heaven with the Lord watching over all of us! My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of great loss.
