Please accept my condolences. I am sorry to hear of Helen's passing. It was such joy to have considered her my friend for the last several years as a driver for Kingsport Transit. She always had such a glow about her and we all know why. She was truly a child of God and as sad as it is to see her go, she would not want to come back to this old troublesome world. She was a fearless witness to the residents when she lived at Maple Oaks. She spoke fondly of her children and grandchildren, as well as the love of her life, "Gilley." I'll meet you again someday soon my friend.
