Helen, you’re a beloved, long time family friend. I’ve always considered our families to be family, and always will. Although you are now gone, you will never be forgotten. And you will be missed. My prayers go out to the rest of the family.
Aunt Helen. I am so glad that I got to see you on Christmas Eve. I remember you were one of the first relatives I met when we moved here from Oklahoma. My favorite memory with you was when I first learned signing, and I would sign “later or after a while” to you and you would sign that back to me with a smile. You were always a very sweet woman and full of smiles everytime I see you! Love you!! Neice Cheryl
It is with great sorrow to say good-bye to a wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed by more people than you realize. It was a very great pleasure to know Helen. I loved her and was comfortable around her as she was like a aunt, the type you loved being around. My condolences to the family and to her husband George. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. We are thinking of you at this time.
May peace be with Charlene’s mom, Helen. My condolences to out to everyone in the family especially Charlene’s dad George and sister Lorie whom played as large of part in my childhood as did Helen.
You are never forgotten, although we are apart, your memory lives with me, forever in my heart. My condolences to my Grandfather George and my Mother Judith, also to my Uncle Wes, and my Aunts Georgette, Laurie and Charlene. I have my smiling memories of you Grandma Helen, I’ll keep them forever. Sincerely Rachel
So sorry for Helen’s passing. A fun person who I first met taking to her granddaughter’s wedding. We had an excellent time talking with one another, with her telling me all about the family. I greatly enjoyed when I had the chance, I wish I could be there to remember her; since I can’t, I’ll take some time and remember her goodness. She’ll be missed.
RIP Mommy, I love you. Glad I got to spend your last days with you!
Dearest Mom-Thankful that I was able to be with you while we could still hug and smile together. You gift of love, life lessons and family made a great part of who I am and what I can use when I need strength to carry on. In my heart you are with me always. Don’t worry, we will take care of daddy.
When I look up at the clouds, the memories of your astoundment will bring me a warm smile. Love U.
