Rick, Teresa, and Scott,
My condolences to you all. I know how special NaNa was to everyone. I am thankful to have know her and to have the happy memories of her. My most favorite memory is when she used to sing "Jesus loves you" every nitebefore she went to bed at to Hunter. When I had my daughter, one of her favorite things was a bunny, who sang "Nanas song.". Im sure Hunter and Pawpaw are giving her the grand tour of heaven. Psalms 29:11 the Lord gives peace and strength to those who seek him..

Dear Teresa & family,
I am so sad to hear of Helen's passing. I cannot begin to tell you the high regards I have for this fine lady. She was a good, loyal worker at Crest Uniform and she mentored many. She loved her family a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you grieve her passing.
