Mary H. PORTER

To the Family of Mary Helen:
We are very sorry for your loss. Mary Helen was always so kind and wore a smile when she would come to the Senior Center. She will be missed.

This world is a better place, having had Mary Helen Porter in it. She loved all of God's children and all of His animals (especially cats). Once you met Mary Helen, you never forgot her, for she would touch your soul. Very few of us can love unconditionally, but Mary Helen could. She loved and cared for everyone and gave each one the benefit of the doubt. She always gave 110% of her ability to help someone else. She was lalways buying little gifts that she thought would "make someone's day"...

I am so sorry to hear about Mary Helen. What a wonderful person who loved the children so much. Mary Helen was a tutor for my daughter Mary and my daughter Dianna loved her when she came to sub at Nelson where both girls went and I work at. Loved talking to her and catching up. Bless all of you.

Mary Helen was a very dear person who cared for all her friends. I will miss her at our monthly teacher luncheons. She was a pleasure to know and to work with while at Epes.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

26 years ago as a 5th grade student in Mrs. Porters class, I never thought all these years later that I would say thank you for your part in my education.

When I started teaching at Epes Elementary 27 years ago, I wanted to BE Mary Helen Porter. She was the epitome of "The" great teacher. She was loving, caring, and concerned for every child she taught. Her students knew she wanted the best for them. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that Mary Helen touched many, many lives. She will be remembered always.

Scott and Kellie-
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Karen
