Love and sympathy to Helen's family. I know my Grandma Mabel welcomed her best friend to Heaven with open arms! Helen was one of the sweetest ladies I have known and I'll always remember her with a smile on her face every time I saw her. RIP Helen.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Helen's passing. I have many good memories about going to their home with all the rest of the family. When we were kids, one of the best memory was Carolyn driving us to the creek to go swimming. Aunt Helen will always be missed and LOVED.

I'm so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. She always had a smile on her face as soon as you saw her & always had time to visit. I so enjoyed her visits to me when I was at Eastview we always had to mention all the kids. I just loved to visit with her & she made me happy & left me with her smile. I know you'll always miss her but she left you with an example how to live a good life making others happy with her smile. I'll always remember my friend, Helen.
