One day many years ago, I made a quick trip to Destiny for a birthday gift. I held the elevator door open for a lady, and I did a double take when I saw her face...which she caught me doing. I apologized telling this lady she looked just like my high school librarian. "Oh? And who was that?" I told her I was from a small town, Canastota, and our librarian was Helen Martin. "Well, I'm Helen Jane's sister, Syd." I nearly fell over and told her Miss Martin and Mrs. Peterson used to go camping with my mom and dad...Syd knew just who I was.
Miss Martin just adored her family, especially each of her nieces and nephews. You were her world. I'm so very sorry to read that you lost your aunt and uncle, as well. Sending you and your cousins my deepest sympathy. There must be a wonderful reunion happening right now in heaven.
God bless you, Syd. You made the world a better place. Godspeed.
