When I heard about the passing of Mrs. Helen, my heart was saddened for all of you. But I couldn't help but think of the party that was going on in heaven. What I would have given to have been able to see that!!! The Flannery Road Family - how sweet & precious the memories! Mrs. Helen could work circles around all of us "young kids" and she never aged physically and always remained "young at heart". I will always love her and look forward to seeing her again along with the rest of the Flannery Road Gang! Love to all of you as you remain in our prayers.
