My thoughts and love are with you all now. Kathy and Tiffany I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom/Nana was a wonderful lady. I have very fond memories of her when my mom would bring me with her to go and visit both of you. She was a beautiful lady inside and out and had a heart of gold. I hope that you can find peace soon. Love you both very much. I know my mom was definitely there waiting with open arms for her arrival. My dad also sends his love and sympathy.

To the Gower Family: I have many fond memories of your mom. Her smile was special, and she made everyone feel special. My fondest memory is a recent memory, Easter dinner at Kathy and Tiffany's home this past Easter. Helen was so happy having her family all together. This is just one of many wonderful times shared with the Gower Family. May God help you find peace and comfort.
