We have lost our eldest, our very good friend and the "mother" of our group: Helen passed away this week. She was a retired teacher and lived for all of her families--her daughters and granddaughter and great-granddaughter, her Lutheran family, her retired teacher family and her Walkie Talkie family. We will remember her words of wisdom that she shared with us each time she joined us for coffee or an "adventure" and her political comments at election time (when she was never shy about expressing her beliefs!).
On May 1, 2010, she celebrated her 90th birthday will all of her "families." She was the "Queen Mum" with her tiara.
We will all miss her!
