R.I.P. - Helen Yaganiski



The world has lost a very, very good person, Helen Yaganiski. I only know Helen from church, and from my visits to the palliative care ward of a local hospital, but I've always found her interesting, engaging and courageous. Knowing she was dying she stayed hopeful in spirit and gentle in manner. I pray for all peace, comfort and consolation for Mel and the family, and that Helen rest peacefully in the loving arms of her Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Go swiftly to God, Helen, and rest in his peace.

My grandmother was an amazing and special woman, and it's clear she touched many lives during her own. She lived the last few months with great courage, life and humor; and her faith and trust in God was inspiring. In a way, it helped me to accept and understand the path God had laid out for her.

Thank you for your kind condolences and thoughts - I know it means a great deal to me, as I'm sure it does to the rest of my family.

God Bless.

You're very welcome, and please know that I'm holding you and all of your family in my prayers. Your grandmother was a very special person, and I know she'll be greatly missed. I'm glad I could spent what time I could with her while she was in the hospital. God bless!
