Mommy 2 – What a name/title!
As the young kid of a divorced preacher – I certainly had many
Mommy 2’s (thanks Pat, Barbara, Mary Ruth, Pat, Barbara, Melba, and
MANY OTHERS – yeah, they really were intended to repeat, cool,
huh?!!) – but, only one ever received that title – Helen Elizabeth
Roberts – Auntie Helen (as I started calling her when I got “too
cool” for Mommy 2) passed from this life on Sunday, February 17,
2013 at 96 years young!
She certainly had a glorious and splendid life – raised her four
girls, travelled all over the country (and world), was married in
Hawaii shortly before the US involvement in WWII to my “Daddy 2”
(i.e. – Uncle Connie) who was a Navy Pilot through the war.
Uncle Connie died in 1983, Auntie Helen later moved on to
Arkansas after she reunited with some high school girlfriends (but
not before she served as the groom’s grandmother at mine and Mom-D’s
wedding!!) and continued her prolific life in Arkansas and created
many more works of art (she was a Master Artist) and outlived many
of her high school friends, but she made more!
She certainly had a wonderful life and touched many lives –
not to mention that indelible mark that she made on mine!
Mom-D and I visited her in Arkansas several times – but were
unable to make the final visit … that’s ok, Mommy 2 will always be
in our hearts! We love you bunches Auntie Helen!
We know you have already found the “Suisse” that has been
awaiting you!
