Our hearts grieve for the loss of our beloved Aunt Helen. It grieves in sympathy with and for her extended family. No words can convey the extent of our loss this side of heaven. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Rest in peace my dearest Aunt. May God's Grace be sufficient for all who remain.

Helen and Dan used to baby sit my sister, brother and me at 655 N. Forest when our parents went out of town. It was always a very fun time. I remember one time making peach ice cream, where the peach slices were too large, and ended up frozen in the ice cream. She was such a loving and joyful person, I know she will be missed.

Sorry that we are unable to attend the service.

One thing that stands out in my mind is that Aunt Helen was (and is) a very caring person. She seemed always to reach out to help others. She was very good to me and my family; never intrusive, always complimentary, always helpful. I have many fond memories of being at her house with Uncle Dan, Junia, Mark, and Susan for meals or just to visit. I look forward to seeing her and Uncle Dan again in Heaven. I hope she will make a pecan pie when I visit her there.

Helen was such a sweet lady - I have fond memories of her. Our several family trips down to see the guys at the scout ranch and many many boy scout events we all attended through the years and our times at United Methodist Church. From the Donley Family to the Ecoff Family - We are so sorry for your loss, your mom was a great lady and will be missed by all that knew her.
