I am Mrs. Black’s oldest granddaughter. She will always be Big Momma to me. She will be missed.

I met Helen about a year ago when my father went to live at Commonwealth Assisted Living in Hillsville VA. She welcomed us and helped make a difficult decision easier to live with. She always had a welcoming smile when I visited my Dad and I enjoyed talking to her while we worked on many a puzzle. She was one special lady. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.
