    DEAR :
    Debbie, Jerry, – Jennifer, Tom, & Tim,
    Marsha – Heather & Ryan,
    Pam, Hugo, – Chris, Andy, & Jamal,
    Paulette & family,
    Peggy & Jim,
    Sue, Paul – Matthew, Luke, P.J., &
    Justin,

    This is sooooooooo late but soooooooo
    sincere everything I/we do nowadays
    is slow like this, not just this.

    Know that I have been praying for all of you, including Helen for quite some time
    now and WITH you, surely, through our
    Helen’s latest battle in her war with her
    cancer. She was, indeed, a courageous
    fighter and got to live a long time, even with that constant enemy. I admire her
    and the way she sort of just plowed on
    through life anyway through everything
    that could have gotten her more down.

    And I am grateful for everything that any of you has done for and with your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmoth- er that helped the Lord help her do this
    and answer our prayers for her. You’re
    quite a family, and I admire, love, and
    appreciate each of you too! We don’t
    easily get to as many things/places now
    days, so even missed Helen’s funeral,
    too. I’ve been so grateful we got to visit her at least that one time at Manor Care, though it was hard to see her that time… hard but good. Even then she found ways to communicate her love and friendship. She was such a faithful friend to us!!!!!

    Now it’s been hard to know just how to
    communicate with each of you & to con-
    vey my/our sympathy to you. I am hop-ing that you are still checking this guest
    book and that eventually you will all be
    reading this & receiving our sympathy & love. I am still praying for you all &
    will continue & will be trusting that, just as He answered our many prayers for Helen, in so many ways, including now
    promoting her to glory , away from all suffering & back to Milt & other loved ones, & letting her live even more dir-rectly with her Jesus, God will also con- ntinue to answer your/my prayers for all of you sisters and your families. I don’t know you really, Paulette, or your family, but pray for you too. And each of the rest of you has a place in my heart & prayers. We’ll be seeing each other, hopefully, in various ways and places as time goes by. In the mean-
    time, I hope you find this late addition
    to others who have been sympathizing with you too.

    “I am the resurrection and the life. Who
    ever believes on me, though he die, yet shall he live.” – JESUS (John 11: 25)

  5. Peggy, Sue, and Family: Don’t know if you remember me, but I was rehabbing at ManorCare with Helen and even had the privilege of dining with her. She was a sweet lady. I got to see her Teddy Bear collection. Remember the tacos? I am home now. My sympathy to you on the loss of your mother. She is now with her son and loved ones who have already passed and someday you will all be reunited and what a reunion that will be. Take Care.
