I am so very sorry to hear of Helen's passing. I just got back in town today from New York and my daughter told me. She was always such a strong, beautiful and loving person. I pray God holds you all very close right now and that you feel his love and comfort. Every memory I have of her, she was laughing and smiling. I love you all and you will all be family forever. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Kimm Mayo Benson
