Sue and family,
In this time of sorrow, know that she is at peace. You are all in our thoughts and prays.
Much Love
My sincerest condolences to the family. Helen is a great lady. Loved seeing her when she was in ct. Always was in thoughts. Gary nichols
Our family is so sad to hear that Helen passed away. In many ways, she was an original. She was such a delight to be with. She will be missed by all who knew her. She won’t be forgotten. We grieve for your loss. The Emory Williams Family
Our deepest sympathy to everyone. It is with heavy heart to say that Helen has become a new Angel to watch over her family. Helen was a true friend being brought into this family through the marriage of my bother Dave to Helen’s sister Margie. She will be truly missed. Our love to Jack.
Jack and Helen were brought into my life-sphere by way of the full circle of adoption: and from that moment I knew I was blest by this family “incorporation”.
Helen’s quiet role of Mother was obvious and will be a cherished memory for Jack and all others in the family as well as myself. What a blessing she leaves us in so many of those beautiful memories.
Do find in those memories the peace and love that the Father has meant them to be.
My prayers lift you all up to the Gates of Heaven … where you will come to understand more clearly the rewards of a life well lived … the life Helen now shares with the “blest” in Heaven.
