Aunt Helen you will be missed by us. We had such wonderful memories of spending time with you these past years. They may have been only a few hours, but your sense of humor and those stories you could tell of the family will always remain with us. We send our deepest sympathy to Pam and her daughters.

I was honored to bring Holy Communion to Helen for the last 2 1/2 years. I enjoyed my prayer time and friendship with her. She had wonderful stories to tell. I am a better person for knowing her.
