To Aunt Helen’s family....
May your precious memories of your Mother’s love and God’s presence
bring you comfort and peace of heart
in your loss, now and through the days
ahead.
As Aunt Helen journeyed through life,
she left footprints of love and kindness,
compassion, inspiration, and joy and faith.
Even though she is gone for awhile, we
can still look back and clearly see the trail
that leads forward, bright with hope where she is now reunited with Uncle George and other loved ones that have
passed before. And yes, how she is gladly
looking forward some day to the next part
of that journey when reunited with her
entire family.
In Deepest Sympathy
Love
Shirley, Sharon, Johnny and Fran

A Mother’s Love is Forever
“As children,
we can’t comprehend or fully realize
The meaning of our mother’s love,
how tender and how wise.
The patience and forgiveness that
are part of every day,
The unexpected “little things”
she does in her own way.
Years go by before we can
look back on life and see
Through older eyes and wiser hearts
her love and loyalty,
And yet it’s these and other special
things we ‘ll hold so dear,
For memories of her steadfast love
will keep her ever near.”
