Sweet Helen prayed for my family and me so many times as she prayed for all in the women's exercise group at Lakeside Baptist Church. She would walk over to me in the Parkinson's exercise room and hand me the Bible verse she had hand written for the women to read. She always asked about my family members by name and gave me a big hug. God touched me through Helen. My sincere sympathy to her family.
