I was out of town when I heard of your mother’s passing. Your family has my sympathy. I served as Director of Volunteer Services at Landis Homes. Even tho your mother had mobility challenges, she often volunteered as a reception/greeter during the Dogwood receptionist’s lunch break. I always enjoyed popping in see her lovely violets and chatting with her whenever we met outside. She’ll hold a fond spot in my memory. Blessings as you adjust to life without her physical presence. Rest in peace, Helen. Sue Shirk

Aunt Helen was a wonderful woman and enjoyed her family much. It was so nice when I was able to get Gerry and her together for gathering and lunch over the years.
