Stedge Family,
Sorry to hear about Aunt Helen. She was like a second mother to me.
It didn't matter how much pain she had with her Arthritis, she still wrote me a note in her Christmas Card.
The Sitler Family from PA send their Condolences.

Helen was a wonderful roommate to my dear Aunt Reva Goundrey. Over the years she became like family to both of us. I know that Reva loved her and will be lost without her. She was a great and loving person. At times I would say to her, doesn't it bother you to have so many visitors in the room at one time, and she would say back to me, "Oh no, they are my family, they never bother me!" She had such a big heart and truly loved her family with all of it. God bless all of you, and may you be comforted with your memories of her. I know that both Reva and myself will always remember her. We had many good moments laughing together, watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Lawrence Welk. Now she is at peace!
