Dear Aunt Helen,
I will forever treasure all our Sundays we spent together at Buckroe Beach listening to the band playing the music of your era. How your eyes sparkled just watching the others dancing! Weren't those the best fish sandwiches? And you never tired of Khalin and Khia running around you!!! I,ve been missing my Sundays with you every since you moved to Alexandria. Rest in peace Aunt Helen and have fun with momma and Aunt Lizzy. Hug them for us.
Your niece, great-niece, and great-nephew,
Sharron, Khia, and Khalin Reid

Regina,
for the past 5 years you and your Mother has spent if not every day almost everyday together at one time or another. You have memories that can never be taken away. You shared something with her that no one else can say they had. You brought joy and laughter in her life and you were a Great daughter. For that I know she was thankful. I know a light has gone out of your life but a brighter light is now in heaven. Hold those memories dear and deep in your heart and like you stated your Angel will always be around. Thinking of you warmly at this time. Much Love

Mack Family,
I met Mrs. Helen when she worked at the Althaus Delicatessen and Catering in old Newmarket. My husband worked with Mrs. Helen and they joked around alot. She was like a mother to him.
Recently, we lost others from that same work group. We then found out that Mrs. Mack was in Ga.
We will remember her loving, sweet and humorous spirit.
May you all be comforted by the fond memories of your dear Mrs. Mack.
Be encouraged and blessed.

Dear Mom,
I will always cherish the wonderful memories we shared together. You are definitely the "Rock of the Family". You alawys can find something positive in each every situation. I will always remembber us sitting outside under the tree at Woodbine watching the traffic go by and talking about old times. For the past 5 years we saw each other on a daily basis and now this time will left empty without my "Flossie". I know that you will be my "Angel" from above watching my every move. Tap me on the shoulder and let me know that you are there. I love you and will miss you so very much!! You have gone to a better place and God will surround you with all that you will need.
PS: Grandma, Aunt Lizzie and Aunt Grace will play bingo with you I am sure. (smile)
Your Loving Daughter,
Regina
