Grandma Helen, I miss you so much and will love you forever. I will always remember the fun times that we had when you visited, your phone calls and messages, and the thoughtful letters and packages that you sent. If I had one wish it would be to see you again, but I guess I'll just have to wait until we meet in heaven. In the mean time I will focus on living my life in a way that would make you proud to be my grandmother.

Love, Jennifer
XOXOXOXO

Helen was a great co-worker, friend and associate of mine. She was a very giving, loyal and valued person in my life. She will be truly missed in all ways. May God bless you all and keep you as Helen will remain in my heart and memory. Thanks for loaning her to the Fort Benning Community and to my life.

You had a good sense of humor and liked to laugh and I was always happy that you never acted your age and were young at heart. You will forever be missed.

Your son,

Richard

Helen was a wonderful friend. I worked near her at Fort Benning and spent alot of time talking and E-mailing her. She was always a good friend and had a wonderful attitude. She had a great belief in God and that He would take care of her no matter what came her way. I know she is in Heaven with God now. You were blessed with a wonderful mother. I will miss her.
