Aunt Helen, I couldn't say everything that I needed to say. So, here's what I really wanted to say
My aunt Helen was a wonderful aunt. We may have had our ups and downs especially when my mom passed. Me not thinking that was her sister. I'm sorry for that you was also hurting.
My aunt Helen lived life to the fullest, she worked everyday and took care of 4 children. Her and my uncle John was very good to the family. Our families was all very close. She enjoyed her children. They all had special days to be with her. Darlene did the doctor trips. Darlene was always with her mom
Diane was there Thursday's Michael Friday's , John Saturday mornings for shopping. She had her grandchild who was around her all the time.
When Uncle John moved to heaven. Helen got stronger and moved into her apartment , which kept her going. Always taking care of those people there
Feeding them, giving to them. Then she found the center. Oh my God she was in her glory !!!! Everyday she was there. Talking and playing bingo. She moved forward everyday, took care of herself and everyone else. Very generous with everyone she associated with. You children and grandchild great grandchild was blessed to have her for 85 years. She loved life !!
She lived life with all the ups and downs. Blessed to have her for an Aunt. God has her now , her time on earth is done, time for her to move on. God has better plans for her. She was chosen by God!!!!
How amazing is that. Remember we will see her again but here on earth you guys need to stay close.
Keep God in your heart. We are very selfish we want our parents to be here with us. But God has better plans for them. They will be watching over you, keeping you in line. She would not want you to cry
Tears are now tears of joy. Memories last forever !!
She will be greatly missed but she will be right with you in spirit. Fly high Aunt Helen !!! You raised great children, they will learn to get strong. Please watch over them.
God Bless you all, I'm always here for you

Please accept our sympathy. Will remember Friday nights of bowling with Helen. Was glad I saw her in church often and recently at the All Saints fare. Will miss her laugh and smile;
