Helen was like a Grandmom to me. It took me a while to get used to calling her by her first name, but she always asked me to. Her faith and optimism were so encouraging and inspiring to me. I will miss her wonderful stories, zeal and enthusiasm for sharing the good news of God's kingdom, and our monthly lunches at the local Chinese buffet. I look forward to seeing her again in a paradise earth when she's resurrected and young and healthy again! Until then, I pray that I can endure and imitate her faith and optimism.
