Helen was a great and wonderful person. I was a caregiver for her up until she went into assistant care . She loved her family very much and loved getting company from both family and friends and will surely be missed by all of us !

Helen was such a sweet. I enjoyed meeting her at the Rehrersburg School Reunion. God Bless her and may we all learn from her attitude and the way she lived.
