I was blessed to have been able to be a part of Helens care over the past 20 years. Helen was a true blessing and she (and Pam) became like family to Danielle and I. She always made my heart sing when I was around her. She will be missed. Prayers to the family for peace and comfort.
GG!

I'm very saddened to hear of Grandma T's passing. I'll always remember her warm and fun personality and sharp wit and how happy I felt being in her presence. We'll miss you Grandma - I hope I can hang on as long as you made it while still being the same loving Grandma through the end

Bob & I are so thankful to meet you last year as we were not able to travel this summer to visit all the Missouri kin. Although those of us who are left on earth need comfort to see you go, it is equally comforting to know that you have gone home into the loving arms of The Lord. For the family's information I am the daughter of James Dodge, who is Helen's cousin.

I am so thankful to have had you as a great aunt, and the fun and silly times we had. Road trip back from Branson in your Mitsubishi Eclipse, with Mers egg crate mattress cover she had to have, the silly sister bickering. Air shows and much more!! Miss you so much!
