I’m very sorry to hear about Helma. She was a sweet woman. I loved her and was grateful to have been a part of her life in the end. I can hear her laugh it was one of a kind. My sympathy goes out to all of Helmas family. I won’t be able to come pay my respects on the day of her funeral,  due to work.So wanted to say I’m very sorry for your loss.
