Lots of great childhood memories with Aunt Helen and Uncle Clay and all the kids. My Dad loved visiting and we seemed to be there a lot. Helen always had a big smile on! She always treated us well. It seems like the older we get the faster time moves and it doesn’t wait for any of us. I look forward to seeing Helen’s smile again one day on the other side! Rest in peace Aunt Helen.
