I am so sorry to hear our special lady has decided to go on ahead without us but what a wonderful choice our Lord made when he called her home. You know she was one of the first ladies to do my hair when I first moved to Salem 43 plus years ago. Leonard you and Helen were the cutest couple, always. I know you will miss her but I hope all of the beautiful memories you two shared will help ease the pain. Your friend always, Pat Dew

I am so sorry to hear about Helen. You probably don't remember me. I was Mary Alice Janney, (Ed and Myrtle Janney's daughter) and looked forward to your visits every time all of you came over or we came to see you. Howard and Linda, I am so sorry for your loss.

Truly sorry for your loss. I worked with Helen at Colonial Beauty Shoppe in the mid 70's. She was a pleasure to be around. I will remember her in my prayers.
