I just wanted to take a moment to share a few words about Helen. From my first holiday with her and Bill, I felt their warmth. Helen had a way of opening her home, and her heart, with such ease. Whether it was a big family gathering or a quiet visit, she never failed to offer me a pop, a seat at the table, and the sense that I belonged. That really meant a lot to me, as my own family was so far away. One of my favorite memories is listening to Helen talk about the camping trips she and Bill took with their friends when they were younger. Her eyes would light up as she recalled the laughter they shared. In those moments, I wish we could have traveled back in time to camp with them, because I could tell that she would have been such a great friend to have. That connection is something I'll always hold close. I will miss her quiet humor and her graciousness. But more than that, I will miss the way that she made me feel like part of her family.
