Aunt Sissy was always such a happy person. She was just so full of life! I can say that a lot of people in my age group arent half as full of life as she is. She never seemed to let stuff get her down. It just rolled off her back and she kept going. She would live life to the fullest and though I am not very religious, I honestly believe she is up in heaven, laughing it up with the angels and watching out for all of us.

Aunt Sissy will truly be missed by all that knew her! She will always be the other "Pea" in the "Pod" for me. Who will love my cookies as much as she did? Now she can return to Uncle Kenny's arms for eternity! May they both watch over our family! Rest in peace-We Love you!

Helen fought a long battle, yet always was smiling when I saw her. May she rest in peace.
