Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Ephesians 5: 19 
Our mother Helen, who is a remarkable woman, celebrated her 95th birthday on Sunday, July 18, 2004.. She has been the Church Organist at a little town in Wisconsin for 68 years. A celebration of approximately 70 people attended her big day at the United Methodist church. After worship, a potluck dinner was served at 11:45, with a special Music Service starting at 1:00. Below and on page two are some memories.
