To all Helen's family,
We are so sorry to hear of Helen's passing.
We have many fond memories of the Neighbors family's being together. This was years before you were born but a lot of fun went on. May God bless your family as you move to the next phase of your lives without your parents. The sadness turns to wonderful memories as time passes. Sincerely, Fran Tolbert and Mary Gooch (Bill and Della's daughters - cousins of Helen's)
