My Dear Grandmother,
You meant so much to me. There are so many things about me that come from you,and that, I love.Every time I came around, you treated me like a princess and thats because to me,you are a Queen.I regret not having a closer realtionship with you as an adult as I did as a kid. I will forever miss that. I love you for all that you did in my life, especially bridging the gap between my father and I. You stood in for him in his abscence, doing things for my brother and I. Remember the ice skating lessons? I always knew my dad loved me because you made sure I knew and that is one of the greastest ways you showed your love for me. My relationship with my dad I attribute to you for making sure I who he was as a child, allowing me to always be welcome at your house and making sure I kept contact with him.You were a wonderful grandmother to have.

You were an angel on earth and now you are an angel in Heaven.
I will miss you always. Please tell my dad, I love him and miss him too.

To Our Family:

Aunt Helen belonged to all of us, and we all belonged to Aunt Helen. She had a special way of caring and making us feel that we were all her favorites as she loved us each unconditionally. She was wise, witty, and wonderful, and we will miss her in our lives.

As she hovers over us from heaven, may we find comfort in knowing that there is no more Mt. Carmel East in her future--just perfect health, perfect peace, and perfect joy through Christ our blessed Lord and Savior. To God be the glory... great things He has done.

With love in tandem with Aunt Helen's,

TO ALBERT JR.(LITTLE), MARY (BABY SISTER) AND THE GUNTHER FAMILY:

WE LOVE YOU!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget

WE WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER AUNT HELEN. I LOVE YOU.
