It is comforting to know how my Mom touched so many of your lives. One of her qualities was to laugh and cut up with others. In her funny way she has already showed me a sign that she is with Jesus suffering no more. Thanks everyone for your love and support during this difficult time. Her kindness & laughter will be missed by all who knew her.

Ms. Helen was a bright star in my days when I worked at Greenbriar Community Care; she gave me such joy in our signing. She would tell me about how she liked so many people who made her feel included and loved. She was always smiling and loving! I will miss her and the love she gave along with her being mischievous at times too. BINGO Ms. Helen, you get the ice cream and I'll see you soon. Jess
