The sad news reached us Saturday about the loss to this world of Aaron Helms, one of the finest men ever, one of the most special 'Plantersville Connections.' George absolutely loved Aaron and Frances, as do I. They along with Sherrilyn were so kind to us when we lost George. Cousins Cam and Sherrilyn live fairly close in Ridgeland, one of those small world stories. Aaron was such a helpful friend, always there to help Aunt Grace and Aunt Johnnie, both of whom loved him very much. The write-up about him, which I first heard from my sister Margaret who called and read it to me Saturday, was wonderful. Most particularly, I found the mention of Aaron and Frances' 66th anniversary celebrated in November very touching. Sixty-six wonderful years. Also special was Aaron's service as a member of the Greatest Generation. Not to be forgotten . . .ever.
