To my always “classy lady” Aunt Helen who was always “all dressed up” and looking beautiful. You are now sharing eternity with your beloved husband, some of your brothers, and your Mother and Dad. But most of all, you’re walking those streets paved with gold with our Lord and savior. What a wonderful reunion you must be having.
Meanwhile you’ll be missed here or earth by many. I love you and will see you again one day.
