I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Death isn't anything that God ever intended for us. I have found this Scripture to be of comfort. It's found at Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.

Helene was a dear friend that always pushed me to be the best person I could be and she did it in such a loving way. She loved her family, her work and her friends and her passing will leave a tremendous void in the hearts of so many. My heart felt thoughts and prayers go out to her beautiful family, she will be missed!
