Hard to say goodbye.....

This evening a good friends mom loss her battle to cancer and went to be with Jesus. I have had a rough couple of weeks. First my grandmother went to be with Jesus and now my friends mom. Helen was a wonderful women. She always had a smile on her face and always talking with everyone and never complained about how she was feeling. This evening while talking about her a little boy said that "she was like a grandma to me". She was, she always made you feel at home and that you were a very special person. She's survived by her husband Merle and three daughter's Krissy, April and Holly a son Greg and twelve grandchildren.
Helen was diagonised last year with cancer and later told that it was spreading and she would only have six months to live. Until last week she worked as a secretary at a middle school here in town and spent many hours with her family. She would come to church on sunday and help with sunday school and come wed nights and help with the kids. Also was a greeter on sunday mornings and everyone would love to sit and talk to her. She was always surrounded by people and always was checking to see who wasn't there to send them a miss you card. She was a very wonderful women. She also was very loved at her place of work. She will be missed by many people but we all know that she is with Jesus and is without pain now. Jesus please take care of Helen and help the family to be at peace with your timing.
