We never met Mrs. Helen personally but we felt as if we knew her. Our neighbor and her son Don, always shared his great memories of her with us. He always spoke highly of his Mom. That being said, we know that you all will cherish your memories of her in her absence. Praying for you all.

We have warm and dear memories of time spent with Aunt Helen. Such a sweet lady that kept Uncle Jasper in line. My mom (Alice Ross Hobbs) enjoyed their friendship very much. Your family is in our prayers.
