We only learned of Helens passing and it is with our deepest sympathy and love that we send our sincere condolences to David and his entire family. We have warm memories of her and Levi when we were neighbors on VA Ave. She was a wonderful lady and I know a star shines bright in heaven because of her.

Helen and Levi were wonderful, wonderful people and the best possible neighbors a family could have, and our family was so blessed by them. I can remember that the Seekfords shared a "party" line with my grandmother. Heaven and Levi, Lola, and Dewey welcomed an old friend home, and may her earthly pilgrimage be an example for us all of a wonderful woman, and a life well lived. Te deum laudamus.

I just today heard of Helen's passing. Helen was a wonderful, funloving vibrant person. She was our neighbor, and we had so many wonderful times on my front porch! She was an Icon with the Auxiliary of Warren Memorial Hospital and she gave time so unselfishly in so many different ways. I didn't visit her often enough, but I know she "kept the party going" at Lynn Care.
My deepest love and sympathy to her wonderful family.
