Marilyn Epperly Helphrey

Marilyn,
You were a ray of sunshine each morning when I arrived at the JC Penney office on International Way. You greeted both associates and customers since you were the receptionist at the office. Your smile gave me an uplift to start out my day. You will be surely missed by both family and friends. I feel the void that your passing has caused but someday we will see you in Heaven at the pearly gates helping Saint Peter welcoming those that passed within those gates.

Its hard to believe you are gone. I can't tell you what is new or how I am. I miss our phone calls and visits. I just miss you!!! I loved your memorial service, you were loved by many. It's been said that if you have just one good friend when you pass away you are lucky, you however had many friends who said such nice things about you. I am proud to have had you as my mother. I will always love you. Keep an eye on me. I will see you someday!
Love always your middle daughter.

Marilyn, we did so many fun things together. All of the Saturday nights playing cards. I've always considered you Jason's second mother since you almost delivered him. Say Hi to Rick for me.

I'll always remember your laugh Marilyn. It was so infectious and always cheered everyone up.

Dear Jill, Wade & Nathan,
After reading your mom's wonderful write up...would it be a wonder that she raised such a beautiful daughter, inside and out. We are so sorry for your loss, but her gain has to lighten your sorrowful load. We love you.

Marilyn, I'll never forget you! You showed me so much love growing up across the street from you and your family. Kim, Cheryl and Jill were my sisters I never had...I'll always remember you taking the time to show me how to cross-stitch and thank you for making my wedding announcements so stunning with your beautiful calligraphy. You were my second mom and I loved you for all you did for me! You have been a blessing in so many lifes, I'm blessed to have been apart of yours!

Love to you Marilyn, your Kimmy Kay. You will be missed be so many...

You were an angel here on earth...and now you are an angel with wings....I wish I could have met you. Maybe...some day I will.
