Mrs. Childs was a wonderful person who loved her family deeply, and who cherished all the times she spent with her sons and their families. She was always a cheerful and gracious person, who made everyone around her feel welcome. My deepest condolences go to Torrance, Michelle, and the rest of the Childs family.

To my loving Aunt Helen, words cannot express how I feel right now. I will always remember how you played such an intricate role in my younger years. You introduced me to horseback riding, took me to Disney World, swimming, etiquette classes and so much more. You made me believe i can do anything as a young girl! I hope in some way I made you proud. You made me feel more like a daughter than niece at times. I will hold on to these fond memories of you and just know you will forever hold a special place in my heart ❤. Love you always my beloved Auntie❤. Until we meet again..

Helen was in residence at Standish Village with my mother, Dorothy. Helen was always impeccably dressed, and so beautiful. I was happy to hold her hand or give her a hug whenever I saw her. I will remember her fondly. My thoughts are with you. Fondly, Anne Stein
