Not sure what to say?

It's hard to believe that my grandmother has passed away. I remember as a kid, trips her and I would take to get ice cream. Not to mention the many weekend, staying over, and the talks her and I would have over breakfast, helping with the dishes. I will have and will always love you, and hope that you and Grandpa are happy.

Love and prayers for all the family.

I thought of Helen as my second Mom. She took me under her wing during my High School years. I have a lot of good memories of her from CIvil Air Patrol, and the teenage parties that were held in their basement. Helen was an amazing woman, and will be missed by many. I loved her dearly and I will remember her in my heart forever.

I remember Helen growing up in the Civil Air Patrol and stayed at her home w/friend Dan. She served the community with honor. Rest in peace.

My sympathy to you all. Helen was a real "Pip"! The "H&W used to eat with me at the cafe. So sweet in their matching shirts.
