To the Helen & Barbara Lymous families



Know that your family has my deepest condolences. I'll always remember her great teaching abilities & the patience she exhibited with her Kindergarten class when I first met her 15 yrs. ago. I admired her love for her work with the children. She shared how much she missed the classroom when she had to stop working. Helen will be missed by many, but may the comfort of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ warm your hearts with good memories of her.

A former Head Start co-worker.

It seems but just a few years ago when we were all teenagers - finishing high school - moving on to another level of life: jobs, children and marriage. Remembering the days when Jeffrey and Kirk and the Gordon Street boys played in the 1400 Block. Well, now we have entered another level . . . Jeffrey and Grandmother, Helen has entered a beautiful stage in her life and has been received by her Lord and Savior saying "Servant of God, Well Done." Love You.
