Sweet memories of my childhood were sitting on the front porch with Oscar and Helen and visiting. Helen always “bought” our little neighborhood “paper” that Amber and I wrote. I always enjoyed her laughter and willingness to talk to us, no matter what she was doing. So many memories, including playing Hot Wheels with the grandkids when they visited :). You are in my prayers.
