Dear Abbey family,
I considered Helen a dear friend. She was always so kind and friendly to me. She was very close to my parents Carl and (late) Alice Eliason. She was faithful in calling me to get updates on my Dad after Mom passed and if she knew I knew someone, she was kind to give me updates on their needs. I will miss her. She was a good, Christian woman.
May God bless you in your time of grief. I will keep you all in my prayers.
