It is hard to believe that so many years have passed since we were neighbors on Parliament Drive. We have never forgotten how beautiful and talented Helen was, and have thought of you and Julie on many occasions over the years.

We pray that God will give you peace and that your precious memories will sustain you until you meet again.

Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.

Forever in Our Hearts

God looked around His Garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon His earth
and saw your loving face.
He saw your path was difficult
and he closed your weary eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine"
and gave you wings to fly.
It broke our hearts to loose you
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
on the day God called you home.

You will be missed.
