    She was an amazing person. She never failed to make you smile. No matter if she was having a bad day or not she did everything in her power to make you smile. Most of the time you just had to see her and your day was better. I will never forget her favorite sentence. "I don't know anymore" we would always joke with her that we did not know either and she thought that it was the funniest thing out there. I am going to miss you my sweet girl. I know that you are in a better place but I hate that you left so soon. I love you Helen.
