Helen

Last night we had the services for our dear Helen Williams. Mrs McKinney got a pass to leave the hospital again and she attended the service. Helen had on a beautiful pink dress. Found out it was the dress she had bought when she was chosen as Woman Of the Year in Iowa. She worked as an RN for 40 years in a veterans hospital. She was and still is loved by all and we will miss her terribly. But she is happier now than she has ever been. Our tears are selfish ones because she is much better off than we are. The family is a very close knit family and we need to keep them in our prayers. Not just today but the days to come. When Mrs. McKinney goes home from the hospital, she will be going home to an empty house. That will be very hard for her. She will remain in my prayers as will the rest of her family. Helen, I know you don't know or care anything about this now, but we love you so much!
