Prayers for all of the family.
I met Helen many years ago (May 17, 1967) when I first went to work for Blanchard Shirt Company. We had to go to Flintrock Shirt Company to train for 6 weeks. Helen taught me how to do my job and she was so kind. She taught me well as I worked until the factories at Mountain View and Marshall closed in 1998.
