I send my condolences and prayers to the entire Lathan family. Another angel has left this earth. Helen and Robert were the best neighbors anyone could ask for when we lived near them. Helen and I had many happy times visiting that I will never forget and will always cherish. She was always laughing and happy. A great wife, mom grandma, and friend! R.I.P. Helen
