Helen’s love was similar to that of our Father’s… unconditional, selfless and bountiful. Simply being in her presence made one feel true peace. Helen brought grace to every path she crossed. Wit was not only a stronghold of hers, but also a staple of the memories we all so blissfully share. Helen wanted to leave not a legacy, but rather a reality. In truth, she has done both. Her legacy of love will prove eternal, and her reality of vivacity will infinitely grow inside our hearts. This world, and the one much greater than ours, alike, could not be more blessed to share the presence of Mrs. Helen Louise Ferguson (Shivers). We will love you Forever!
