Not sure what to say?

I have so many wonderful memories of sweet Helen. Our girls grew up together. Jan spent many a night at our house . Those rascals could find so much trouble to get into later on. Always enjoyed seeing Helen at HEB and catching up on everything. She wa such a sweet lady, might have said that already, but it doesn´t hurt to repeat.

What a wonderful life Helen bestowed upon us. As her nephew I remember endless summers of joy when visiting. Aunt Helen brought so much love into our lives. I'm truly saddened to know of her passing. My heart goes out to everyone close and all those many people she touched. Her spirit of love, joy, and compassion for others shined on everyone around her and is greatly passed on to her wonderful daughters, my cousins whom I adore so much. Weather it be at the house and pool in Waco with Jan,...

Anne and Jan, so sorry to learn about your mom´s passing. She was always the most gracious lady. And I was amazed at how resilient she was through so many health events. My mom, Dottie Buchanan, so appreciated her friendship. Love and prayers.

Dear Jan, So sorry to hear about your sweet mom. Sending love and hugs your way and thinking of you during this difficult time. Much Love!

Anne, I´m so sorry for what you are going through. Your mom was such a sweet lady. I´m praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

I have so many beautiful memories of Helen, most of all her beautiful smile whenever we saw each other at HEB. ( that´s the only place I went in the last few years). Although our lives hadn´t crossed much since our children were grown and married, I will always remember fun times when those girls were wild and fun and our many conversations about them. Helen was a very special person. My sympathies and prayers go out to all the family. She will be missed.

The oneness of the soul is certainly manifested in Helen´s beautiful life. We used to stand outside the Baylor band hall next to Pat Neff Hall to watch Helen walk by after class. She was that beautiful. Then when she teamed up with my good friend Bobby Hamilton we had many more joyous times. When we moved back to Waco we became reacquainted with her and Nee husband Sam whom I knew in Kiwanis. Jan sang some jobs I played and I heard in her Bobby singing as he did at the Casa Blanca in our...

Jan, I never saw your Mom without a radiant smile on her face that instantly made me smile and feel acknowledged. Peace to you and your family.

Helen was a beautiful lady inside and out. I will always remember her as a treasured colleague and friend. May she rest in eternal peace.
