To the Family of Helen Defriece,

I have many fond memories of Helen when we were co-workers at Emory & Henry. She was a very special lady and a joy to be around.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

With sincere sympathy,

Phyllis, and children: It saddens me to know how small our family is becoming. I have so many fond memories of both Uncle Fred and Aunt Helen. And how loved they always made me feel. I cherish the memory of sitting under the chestnut tree with Uncle Fred and eating my full. And sitting with Aunt Helen talking and sharing laughs. Mom always said that she could fix the best and most perfect bucket steak! I loved her chocolate cake myself. It is wonderful to have so many fond memories of the childhood years I spent in Meadowview. My love to you, Vonda (DeFriece) Parks and Family.
