December 1, 2022 at 6:09 pmI just heard of the news that my sweet aunt Helen had passed away and was sad but happy that she is with her sweet husband Uncle Bud.
As well as other family that has passed.
I will always will remember her soft spoken voice and her sincere kindness she always gave to me in my life. I have missed coming and visiting her and Uncle Bud in there home or at the station.
I wish I could attend her services but unfortunately I am leaving out off town. I will be thinking of her and the grand reunion. God bless
