She was a woman who touched us all,
she knew everyone and helped anyone,
she showed us beauty in everything,
and she brought hope to all.
Helen was all these and more,
she was there to comfort you,
she was your secret keeper,
and one to share a joke with.
Helen may be gone,
may she rest in peace,
but I believe,
she touch me most of all.
She helped me with;
fears,
hopes,
love,
and life.
She showed me how to;
live life,
have fun,
set morals,
and how to improve myself.
I'll never forget her,
no matter what happens,
for she has a place in my heart.
