Helen Dora (Counter) Sannes
5/17/1940 - 11/11/2011
Helen will always be remembered as a gardener of life. She loved her flowers, her cardinals, her family, her friends and her Lord.
My child, my child,
as you close your eyes let your eyes rest and when you have made that journey from this earthly place, open your eyes to the wonder of God's great Love.
Fear not child, for I have always told you that you would not be left alone.
As you open your eyes you will see the great wonders of His Love.
Fear not child, for now there will not be any more pain or sorrow. You have fought the fight and now you have won. You will be able to not only see and hear but it will be a joyful day. For you, He has a very special place; for you are a very special person in His Kingdom!!
- your loving family
