Helen , You always had a smile on your face and fuzzy little slippers on your feet. All the times you rode my bus and the little talks we use to have always lightend up my day. You will be dearly missed by me.Your Cumberland Crossings Bus Driver

Helen was a delightful, spunky fun-filled woman who lived life to it's fullest. It was a joy to know her. She will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go to all her family and friends, but we can find comfort in knowing that she is Home with Her Lord.
