My family and I had joined Memorial Dr, Lutheran church in 1961 and shortly thereafter the Earnest family joined. They were long time active members and I have fond memories of Helen and Al. They were so friendly and caring. I was on an outreach committee with them that helped organizations and people in so many different ways and they were front and center. Both had great senses of humor and we shared many a laugh.
God be with you Helen. I'm blessed to have known you.

Deepest Sympathy to Susan and all Helen's family. I am an Alpha Phi sister and shared some fun times with Helen.... both at the Bridge table and on the Golf Course at Pine Forest CC. May she rest in peace.
