Posted on: Monday, November 6, 2023She was a shining star, truly a one of a kind….. She always could make us laugh by situations, she found herself in. Oh the stories one could tell…. The Mr. Bear story, was my absolute favorite. It still makes me laugh.
She was a solid rock of our family and a go to, when advise was needed or a situation arose. She was a second mother to me, all throughout my life.
She, by all of us and by many others, will be missed terribly. She was a sparkle in our sunshine, a bright light that will be noticeably missed but your memory will certainly be carried on.
May you rest in peace Aunt Hellie…..
Big hugs Cyndi xoxo
