Everyone who knew Helen had their lives enriched by her kindness and gentleness. She never wavered from her faith, and loved reading the bible. I will always remember her strong commitment, “in all circumstances”, following her personal savoir Jesus Christ. Beside loving the Lord, she adored her girls and each of the grandkids. Helen was a beautiful wife, mom and granny. She will be dearly missed!
