As Helena's health began to decline, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to be closer to her sisters, Angela and Sandra. For 11 years, Angela and Sandra lovingly cared for and supported Helena, providing her with unwavering love, comfort, and devotion. Their dedication to their sister was a beautiful testament to the strength of what family really looks like being humble servants.
