Am deeply sorry for your loss I can't believe she is gone. She and I called back and forth often and I will truly miss our chats. She was a very special woman ,and she ,aunt Mildred and Lorena, and I had some wonderful times togather , and we always got to talk about them and laugh. May she rest in the arms of Jesus and stroll through heaven with your dad once more. Our love to you all. Elnora&larry scofield

Al, Dottie and Barbara . . . I just heard Al's phone message about Aunt Helen's passing. I was blessed to have her and Uncle Ed as my godparents and doubly blessed to be able to spend time with them during the last few years that they lived in Old Town. They were special people and now they are together again: Uncle Ed doing the running for the beano games and Aunt Helen bringing her Southern Hospitality to all she met. God Bless them and all of you.
