Helen Moree

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 Today, we gather in the spirit of celebration to celebrate the life of Helen Louise Moree, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, sister-in law, cousin and friend. Although God allowed her to remain on earth for sixty-five years, as a family, we were never prepared to say goodbye.
