May God Bless the Family
Helen was a very special person. She will be deeply missed - my how things have changed since the post office used to be on First Avenue.
At church, I remember how she was so kind to my kids, now grown, and always had them involved in assisting with the communion after the service.
Helen was fond of the youth in the church.
Helen touched many hearts, including mine, and was a good listener.
I know she is in heaven and at peace.
I have fond memories of her love for her family which she spoke of so often.
God is our refuge and our strength. God Bless All of you!
