My sister and I have such wonderful childhood and adult memories of our Aunt Helen. She is forever in our hearts and is dearly missed. She was a quiet and gentle soul but full of the Lord's strength.
She loved to cook - I especially remember her collard greens and angel biscuits. We will miss those happy, giggle-filled conversations with our sweet Aunt Helen.
Our heart-felt sympathy to Uncle Al and all his family - you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.
Loving thoughts, Linda and Mike Grassi (and Eddie and Scott Lee - my sons who loved their Aunt Helen and Uncle Al)
