Helen and Jack were such sweet neighbors! I grew up across the street from them and I would spend hours with Jack on his front porch with the baseball games and Helen would feed me treats. I always looked forward to seeing her in the lunch line everyday as well! She will be missed! Deepest sympathies to you and your family :(

I will miss Aunt Helen's calm ways. Her intelligence. And her love. I am saddened by the fact that I did not get to talk to her or Uncle Jack much over the last year, due to throats issues. She will always hold a very special place in my heart. I love you all! And am so very sorry for your loss. May God comfort and keep you all !


Love & prayers,
