    Helen’s Family;
    Please accept our very deepest sympathy. Our family spent many hours sitting with Helen and my mom at the lunch or dinner table while my mom was a resident at Bluewater. She was always such a refined and quiet lady, eager to please. I know she was frustrated with her inability to do as she chose but was so grateful when given some help, no matter how small the gesture was. It was a privilege to get to know her. Your family was blessed to have her in your lives. God Bless.
