Helen and Jack were our lake friends and we miss them very much. We truly regret that we had no idea Helen had passed over two years ago. We discovered she had moved when we were in Norfolk and stopped by only to discover that she no longer lived there. We are deeply saddened by the loss of both of these wonderful friends but we know that Helen is happy to be reunited with Jack. Our love and condolences to the entire family. John and June Seay, 280 Coles Rolling Rd, Scottsville, VA 24590
