Helen was such a sweet lady to my mom and to me. I’d bring my mom, Justina, over and we’d have tea and a snack and talk about her grandkids and my children too. She even gave me some wicker Barbie furniture for my girls. We still have it. After my mom passed away in 2015 her and I had another visit. She was always so comforting to me. I’m very sorry for your loss and am thinking of her at this time of year as you all must be wishing she was here to celebrate Christmas with. God Bless you all! - Posted by: Linda Hirt (Mitchell) (Friend of my late mother, Justina Mitchell ) on: Dec 27, 2017
