Condolences to the family; I hope your love and memories will help make your hearts lighter during this difficult time. Aunt Helen was always such a kind soul who treated everyone with grace and acceptance. She was so thoughtful to our family.
Lloyd, Christine, Chuck and Family, We were so sad to hear that Helen had passed away. We loved her very much and was so happy to get her Christmas cards each year. We did not know that she had passed away and her graveside service was just last Monday or we would have definitely been there. We didn’t find out about her passing until we got the Recorder paper on Thursday the 6th. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a very special lady.
