Our sincere condolences to Miss Helen's family. My insurance agency had the privilege of serving Helen for more than 15 years. She called every month and we miss her voice and sweet spirit. We will not forget her.

Hello all,
My name is Cathy Hall from Smithfield,Va. My mother Annie B.Hall and Helen talked every week. My mother is I'll and has been since May and was in a facility when Helen passed. She called my mother a week before she passed. I just happen to be at my mother's home and answered the phone. She told me she had been calling and was looking for "momma" as she called her. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. She was our friend. God will make your days sunny again. Hold on to his unchanging hand. May you find peace in this time of sorrow. RIH HELEN!

My deepest sympathy to the family and know I will miss her as well. Classmates from elementary to high school she always remained the same sweet friend. What a great time we had at our 50th class reunion. I will also miss our catch up phone calls as well. God Bless you family.
