JodyWilliam, I am so sorry to hear about Helen's passing. She was a joy to be around, always got a smile out of her. You know how much I cared. I would have been at the service's had I known at the time. You were the most loving, caring husband and with her every step the way until the end, I'm sure. I can remember visiting her in the hospital, and using her hospital telephone to call you. She was telling me that she lost a hearing aid, and I searched for her, and asked the nurses about it. Come to find out, it was in her ear the whole time. Now its time to take care of yourself ! I'm going to miss seeing you both, all my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Enjoy those pecan pie's ! Sending my love, Jody
