How many years have passed since that first day I met Helen at Villa Nova Grade School? We were both little girls playing and running and skipping and jumping rope. We found out later we were cousins. Grovers Mother and my Grandmother are sisters. I did not see Helen any more after High school. Our lives took us in different directions. In our elderly years, we talked on the phone for a season. She ministered to me about Eternal Salvation in Jesus Christ. She said, "we are sealed aren't we?" Ephesians 1:3 How far is it from here to eternity? Its just a breath away. Jesus said, "I will never leave you or forsake you." What a Wonderful Savior we have and that's where Helen is now. I have been so blessed by knowing her.

RONALD, I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOM. HELEN WAS MY BEST FRIEND HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH. I KNOW IT HURT HER TO LOSE MOLLY AND SPARKS. I PASS BY THE HOUSE EVERYDAY AND CANNOT BELIEVE MY BELOVED HELEN IS GONE. MOLLY USED TO COME OVER TO THE YARD, SINCE THEY CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH HER TALKS WITH ME OVER THE FENCE. AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LOVED HER TRULY. I CAN ONLY BELIEVE THAT SHE IS WITH MOLLY, SPARKS, AND KENNY AND YOUR BROTHERS. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL AND KIND LADY. MY HEART FEELS VERY HEAVY AND SAD. WITH MUCH SYMPATHY KATHY

Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in knowing that our heavenly Father knows the heartbreak of loss and is here for us as he promised at Isaiah 43:2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, And through the rivers, they will not flood over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame singe you."   Although death is the most heartbreaking experience we will ever face we are not left without hope.  God promises to bring our loved ones back to life through a resurrection as he promised at, Isaiah 25:8 " He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces."  How we long for that truly special day to embrace them again!

Ronald, I am very sorry to hear about your mother. I had never meet her but she call me one night ask if Grover was my father . She seemed like a very nice lady. I know what it is like to lose your mother. You and your family will be in my prays.

I am so sorry about Helen's passing away. She was truly a loving person and was a wonderful, compassionate person. She was so easy to talk with and made me feel like a true member of the family from the first time I met her. She will be very missed. Thankfully there are some very nice memories to help us with the sadness.
