I found out this morning that my friend, Helen Harris, died yesterday morning of breast cancer. She’d been fighting a battle with it for over 5 years. She was a wonderful woman, with a bubbly warm personality and a loving heart. She was so young, still — and had so many years of life and love ahead of her!

She never knew it, but she was an inspiration to me. Her battle with cancer and refusal to give up hope, often believing in healing against impossible odds, inspired and challenged me to keep going. If she could do it, with all she had to face, I can most certainly do it.

Please pray for Helen’s family, my friends Wendy, Conna, Debbie, and so many others who were touched by Helen’s life and miss her dearly.
