Some people light up the world. Not in a showy, boastful way, or a flashy, sassy way,
But in a deep down, soul-satisfying, love you with every beat of my heart kind of way.
Their spirits are so infused with goodness and grace that they make everyone around
Them feel important and valued and loved. My mother-in-law, Helen is one of these
Extraordinary people who can erase your fears with only words and a calming touch,
Whose faith and spirit make you glad to be alive and in her presence. Today we
Celebrate her being on this earth for eighty glorious years, and we hope for many
Many more.
