I am saddened to lose Helen, a family member whom I had just discovered through ancestral research. It was wonderful to talk with her about family history, relationships, and her life. Blessings to all.

Helen certainly will be missed. She and her family are in our prayers. Helen was a wonderful woman. She was strong in her faith and would always give you words of encouragement when bad times came around. We enjoyed being with her when we would get together for many occasions through many years. When her daughter Cappie passed, our bridge club continued to include her in our get togethers.
We'll miss you Helen. Love and Prayers - Lou,Bev,Jane,Marie,Sue,&Ellen

I was sorry to read of the death of your loved one, Helen Paschal. Helen lived across the street from me when we were in elementary school in Inglenook. Ours was a close knit community where everyone knew each other, so I also knew Helen's parents and Buford, Hazel, and their parents.

My prayers are with each family member. I was raised two doors from Mr. and Mrs Paschal. My brother and I had so much fun playing dress up and dolls with Niles, Cappi and Ronnie when they would come visit their Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. Helen was a very sweet person and loved everyone.
