Chuck, she was such a dear and I have so enjoyed the times we have spent together. Cannot imagine her gone. She kept all of us informed about everyone else from North Texas and Chi O. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She will be greatly missed by everyone that came in contact with her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Chuck. The world has lost a wonderful lady. I am so fortunate that she called me her friend. I will miss her dearly.

I was so sad when I read Helen's name in the Midland paper. I will miss her and the emails she sent. I will also remember the fun times we had when we helped with the Girl Scout troop. Prayers to the Kimbro family. Love, Vivian Joseph

Oh, how sad! Helen sent emails to me often. The last I heard was she was to have surgery, which had been put off several times. My heart goes out to you Chuck...and to precious children Van and Elaine. Helen was one of the sweetest, dearest friends a person could have. Although separated geographically, we always stayed connected in our hearts. God bless you with peace and comfort.
Deepest sympathy,
Dell Hoover
