Auntie Helen, We know you are smiling down on us from heaven and you and Uncle Cecil are painting beautiful rainbows for all to see...We know you are having a wonderful reunion with your beloved husband, your parents and that Spooky is sitting on Uncle Cecil's lap. We'll always remember your wonderful hospitality as we enjoyed our family get togethers at your house (Uncle Steve's Christmas Parties) and the kids chased golf balls all over your back yard. We had a beautiful Arizona sunset tonight and we know that you and Uncle Cecil painted it together. Love Always, Auntie Mea (Kelly),Eileen, Rachael and Stephanie Bienz and Don, Beth, Sean, Kiersten and Don Jr. Kelly
