Good-bye To A Dear Lady......

Yesterday, we attended the funeral of a sweet lady. She was a beauty. Loved being dressed up and having her hair just so. We used to live across the street from Helen , when we lived in town. She and her husband have been married over 45 years. He was her care giver for the past two years. She has been on oxygen for those two years. I really never knew what was wrong. I know she just one day could not breathe, went to the hospital and then onto oxygen. I do know she smoked. So maybe that lead to  the problem.
  I loved these neighbors. You always knew they loved each other. Never any harsh words between them, that I ever heard. They were a joy to meet out anywhere. Or just stand at the edge of our yard and have a conversation. I have stayed in touch with them since we moved, by sending cards and notes. I know that Helen's husband will be fine, as he will spend time with his son and g.daughters. I will still send cards, because Leroy's sister ask me to please remember him.
  Have you ever had neighbor's you truly adored?  Believe me Helen and Leroy are absolutely the kind of neighbor's  that we all want. Kind to their family and everyone they met. I will miss Helen.
  Let's keep those in the path of the fierce winter storm in our prayers. Enjoy this day. xo
