I remember the times I would travel in your car as a kid. Whenever we went down a steep hill, aunt Helen would sing, "We are going down the valley ONE by ONE, with our faces toward the setting of the sun." Well, her faith has become reality now and she is rejoicing in the presence of Jesus. WOW!

Dear Uncle George and Family,
I'm sorry I could not be there for Aunt Helen's funeral. I am so glad I was able to visit her in April. She has always been an inspiration to me with her quiet manner and godly example and talent for poetry. Thank the Lord for providing the wonderful plan of salvation so we can look forward to reunion in heaven.

Dear Uncle George and Family,
We want to extend our sympathies to all of you.
When I think of Aunt Helen, I have a lot of fond memories of the times we spent together as I was growing up.
One of the ways she taught me about putting Faith into action was with her "Clothing Box Ministry". It was a practical application of God's Word being evident in her life.
In her quiet way, she simply wrote about the God she served leaving a wonderful memorial for her friends and family through her book.
She was a very special person. May the Lord Comfort & Bless each of you.

I have known Mr. and Mrs. Pavkov since I was a little girl, since my brother married into the family. They both have always touched my heart through their faith and work in the church. Never in a million years did I dream that I would have the honor to be called to care for them in their senior years. The last 6 months they have taught me the art of patience,unconditional love and never forgetting where we all receive this precious gift. Thank you Pavkov family, for the privlege of being such an vital part of your parents lives, this past 6 months. I will miss you Helen, but, I rejoice that you are HOME with our Lord. Gorge, you have been blessed to have such a loving and caring partner for almost 70 years. God be with you all!

The memory of the days that my Aunt Helen (Uncle George and family) cared for us following the tragic death of our dad, Art Pavkov, are forged forever in my mind. (many of my memories involve eating at the kitchen table, imagine this!) She became a very strong image of a godly woman to me even when we moved far away. I took a photo of her at her kitchen table reading her Bible just a few years ago when we visited. What an inspiration she will always be.
God Bless your family, as you miss her so much but are comforted by the warm reassuring presence of the LORD.

My family met Helen and George only 10 years ago, and both of them have impacted our lives. At my testimony 7 years ago, Helen stood and spoke in my favor. Myself and my family are newcomers to the church and having the matriarch of one of the"mainline" families speak for me touched me profoundly. Helen was the living embodiment of a godly woman living a godly life, and an example to many.

Uncle George and family. Praise God that Aunt Helen knew Him for so many years and now gets to see Him in person! We love you all dearly.

Our sympathies and prayers are with the Pavkov family. I still remember the great times and hospitality in Doylestown. Never a complaint, just happy to see her sons friends. Besides, who else could have served me swiss chard and I ate it. Still occasionally buy it today and still remember who introduced me to it.
In Christ's love,
Michael J. Kray II

Grandma was truly a Proverbs 31 woman. I have been so blessed to have her in my life. She is missed, but we are so thankful she is home with Jesus, praising God forever. We are doing our best to "Smile On!"

There are no human words to adequately say how much we loved Grandma! I think her impact on our lives will be something that each one who ever knew her will hold dear to our hearts. To say we will miss her is an understatement, but we rejoice that she has fought the fight, finished her course and kept the faith and now she is rejoicing with the Lord! Grandpa, we love you and will pray for your heart to be comforted. Much love, Fred, Martha, Stephen, Timothy and Christopher Weinhardt
