Helen was a regular in my life from the time my dad would take me into Smith's Dept. Store for clothing when I was little until she became a grown-up friend in the late 80s. She always had a smile when I visited with her. May God grant her family much peace and pleasant memories.
Sympathy to the Poling family from the foster sister Louise. May God Bless
