A Flower for Helen

I received some very sad news this morning.

My very good and old friend, Helen Clark, Greensboro, NC passed away in her sleep yesterday morning. Way, Way tooo young!

Helen was a wonderful person who loved life completely. Her talents were so many.
Cooking was a passion, needlework, quilting and best of all making a wonderful, beautiful, comfortable home for her family and friends. Always welcoming anyone who dropped by and always had an ear to listen. Her garden was beautiful, her herbs and flowers, again, making everything around her beautiful. She cared so much for her Bob and kids, Julie and Steve and her two sweet grandsons. Helen was a teacher, thru and thru! She loved kids but had a wonderful knack for teaching adults. Many have learned quilting and needlework skills from Helen. Her work was impeccable. If it was worth doing, she did it well.

So many things and moments in my life remind me of Helen. She had a style about her, Helen!!!! When I think of a word to describe, Helen, It was CARETAKER! Always there for everyone. She will be missed by many as her friend were many. When Helen came into your life, your life changed forever. She passed away the way she lived---very gently!

You were loved, Helen, you will be remembered always. Love Marty
