I met Sister Helen at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church many years ago. She was always very sweet and kind. She will be greatly missed. I will always have her in my heart and memory.

Dearest Sister Helen,

I’m so blessed to have Sister Helen as my neighbor for about 4 year’s.
The stories Sister would tell me if her childhood was so interesting.
She love to reminisce, and I loved listening. She was always so thoughtful for anyone that would stop in and see her.
And Sister wanted to go to Mexico beach after hurricane Michael as she had a dear friend from there. I knew she couldn’t get into my car so my friend Bob had me use his and we had a wonderful time. It was sad seeing The destruction but it was something Sister wanted to do.
She always would ask me when is Bob having another celebration? I didn’t understand way she asked that.. she laughed and said cuz that’s when you make the.. B Q Ribs, the text she sent me I will always cherish.
And my heart was so touched when I took the picture of sweet Alva praying in front of Sister’s door after she had passed away.
Sister Helen was a beautiful soul and will be missed.
