Once again the ancient rites, Unfold before my eyes, And from the ashes phoenix-like, I see the Spring arise. Of all the places in the world that Helen lived, she loved Northern California the most. A heartfelt thanks to all of her family and friends who loved her, inspired her, and enriched her life.
