Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss, no matter how long Helen lived, it still is a loss! I knew Helen from St. Michael and also a prayer group in the late 1990's. She loved going to church. And I miss her sitting on the seat on the first row. What a woman of God! she also liked to talk and keep you next to her, talking, talking, talking. I bet she was a great hairdresser, keeping conversations going. She was a very bright person and an inspiration to me to follow our Catholic Faith, however...

Always a smile and stayed a beautiful lady her whole life you could always find out the latest at the gas station and she was the most accurate and would tell it like it was God bless Her and family

I did not know aunt Helen well but the first time I met her as an adult I wish I had known her before. Meeting her made our trip so special. She was so loving and kind to us. May her beautiful soul rest in peace

My great-aunt Helen, you will always be in our hearts. My youngest son Yaseen, although he was only five years old in 2019 when he met you, he still talks about the day you told him how much you loved his curly hair. May you rest in peace ❤

Ann & Gretchen & John, your mom was such a special person in my childhood memories & then in my adulthood memories when she would welcome her great nieces & nephew from Saudi Arabia in the summers. She was ice cream & deer & parades & always ready to go with us anywhere! We loved her dearly. Your cousin, Mary
