Tribute to Helen Ruby Knight Law
By Fern Trebilcock

My little baby sister-yes-that’s what she was. And what a darling wee mite!. Born on a hot summer day, August 21, 1929, just two days before our brother’s eighth birthday, and a few months after my tenth, she was the precious darling of us all. I thought of her as my baby doll, dressing her, fussing with her much of the time. Our mother was ill much of her life and became more so as time went on, as was our brother, so much of the care of “my baby” came to me. Did I mind? No, it was a privilege and there was nothing I enjoyed more than wheeling her about, taking her to piano lessons, to the park, shopping, etc. We had such fun. She was quite a tomboy and dearly loved playing rough games with our brother, too. Once when returning by foot from a downtown store I discovered a pair of pink socks had been attached to a purchase. Not having paid for them I knew they had to be returned, at the same time being embarrassed, though neither of us had taken them. However, I felt she could learn from this incident, so return them we did. When I went off to college in Ypsilanti I took her to visit one week at the end of exams and enjoyed “showing her off” to classmates at age seven. What a cutie!

By the time she became more independent I was pretty much out of the home except for visits but I could discern her interest in other people and noted-well, almost jealously-that she had so many friends. Always well-liked by others, her outgoing personality drew others to her, and she to them. I always called her a free spirit, for she and the family would do what they wanted when they wanted and it created a more interesting, fun-filled and relaxed life for the family.

As time went by and we all married our lives intertwined more than ever. We three siblings happened to marry spouses whose family was either far away or deceased, so every birthday and every holiday we spent together with our combined families of nine children and our parents. What joyous times they were. After our dear mother died our father took all of us camping and canoeing in northern rivers, introducing us to the fascinating hobby of photography, which encouraged many of our children to pursue areas of that in their lives, and continuing to enforce a strong bond among us. That was especially nice for our brother and me as we were rearing our children alone. But Helen was always the constant, loving, stalwart person who could unruffle our feathers and keep us calm and peaceful, much like our father was-always steady.

Forever smiling, usually laughing, her children have followed that trait. Whenever they are together there is always a lot of laughter, happy, gleeful laughter, each one enjoying each other, traits their mother instilled in them from birth. They are such happy people. I have been leaving out Jack, which is not meant to say he had no part in this but, after all, this is a tribute to my sister. Never a harsh word, never ever a demeaning word about someone else, she is friendly and kind to all.

In later years as they traveled about the country in their trailer, frequently meeting with our brother, and often with me, her happy spirit caught on to us all. The fun we had on those trips is something to write about in a book-the places we traveled to, the fantastic things we saw, and just the fun we had being together are treasured memories. Their several years doing mission work around the country filled their time with working for their, and our, heavenly Father. My brother and I often met them at their stations.

This last fight for her life showed her true spirit-uncomplaining in spite of much pain, acceptance of the diagnosis, but with determination to live as happily as possible in the time left on earth. Her faith in God was prominent in her life and continued throughout this illness. She has blessed us all.


Jack also married16 ( 2:MRIN:1097) Helen Marie BEHM, daughter of Henry BEHM and Bertha KADAU (MRIN:15066), on 17 Oct 2009 in Adrian, Lenawee, Michigan, USA. Helen was born on 29 Oct 1923. She died on 9 Feb 2014 in Adrian, Lenawee, Michigan, USA.

A memorial tribute.

I was very dismayed to read in the Telegram of Helen's passing. Being a sister-in-law of Jack Law I knew her quite well.and from the moment I met her I also met (in her) a great person, a loving one, a true Christian lady. In my visits to her since then I discovered a woman I could emulate as a mentor and close friend. Our many conversations are a part of the treasures I have filed in my mind, and recall often.
My sympathy goes out to you and her family, and I will keep you in my prayers.

By Sotirios Adamopoulos and Mark Lenz

ADRIAN TWP., Mich. —
John “Jack” Kerr Law III and Helen Marie Cox already had more than a century of combined marriage experience when they tied the knot, but Cox found another way to make Saturday’s wedding memorable. She chose the day with a reason in mind.

“I thought if I chose Sweetest Day, he’ll always remember it,” she said.

The two married Saturday in the lobby of the Grand Court Adrian, where they both live. Both are 86 years old.

It was the second marriage for both. Law’s 56-year marriage to his first wife ended in 2006 when she passed away from pancreatic cancer. Cox’s husband died in 2003 from lung cancer.
The Rev. Paul Herter of Hope Lutheran Church, who also is Cox’s nephew, conducted the ceremony.

“I’m not losing an aunt. I’m gaining an uncle,” said Herter, who also encouraged Law — a football fan — to regularly change his hearing device’s batteries. “I don’t want my aunt saying to me, ‘He just won’t listen to me.’ ”

Cox walked down the aisle escorted by grand-nephew Justin Herter, the son of the pastor. The ring bearer was Law’s great-grandson, Elijah Law. Flower girls were sisters Makenna and Kameron Havens, the daughters of Grand Court executive director Travis Havens, who sang “There Is Love” during the ceremony.

Approximately 200 guests, residents and staff attended the wedding in Grand Court’s dining lobby, transformed with hanging bouquets and balloons. The event was organized by Alice Stiekes, the center’s life enrichment director, and staff said it was only the second wedding at the facility.

Cox said she believes the two of them meeting wasn’t a random occurrence, but a product of divine intervention.

“My husband’s name was Jack and his wife’s name was Helen,” said Cox. “It seems like it’s a coincidence, but we feel it’s God’s purpose for our lives.”

The couple first met a year ago at Grand Court. Cox said she first realized that Law was interested in her after she finished with a doctor’s appointment.

“I told the receptionist I needed to phone Dial-A-Ride and she told me, ‘Actually, there’s a gentleman out there waiting for you,’ ” Cox said. “I looked outside and, well, there was Jack.”

Cox and Law started spending a lot of time together, including eating their breakfast, lunch and dinner with each other.

“We were in church one day and she turns to me and says, ‘You want to get married?’ ” Law said.

Cox said her mother raised her with the belief that women shouldn’t pursue men. A woman should wait to see if a man shows interest first and then respond.

“It amazes me because I thought, I’m never going to live into the 21st century,” said Cox. “Well, now I’m not only living in the 21st century but I’m getting married in it.”

The couple decided to get married at the Grand Court because it made it easier for their friends there to attend.

“There are people here who can’t really get out, so they wouldn’t be able to come to the wedding if we had it at the church,” Cox said. “I asked my nephew if we could have the ceremony in the lobby of Grand Court for that reason and he said ‘of course.’ ”

The wedding cake was made by Grand Court’s charge nurse, Elise Barlow, who used more than one layer despite the bride’s wishes.

“All she wanted was a plain sheet cake,” Barlow said. “I knew that wouldn’t do.”

Cox said both of their families are happy for them and have shown support for their decision.

“Our children agree that this is God’s purpose,” she said. “I want to set a good example: When two people love each other they get married — they don’t shack up.”

Law said they plan to the rest of their years together and keep each other happy.

“We obviously won’t have children because of our age,” he said, laughing. “If we last five to 10 years, to me it’s going to be a success.”
