TJ, Andre, and Anna,
I want you to know that your aunt Helen loved you very much. She was always so proud of you all. I am so sorry for your loss. I sat next to Helen most of her 24 years with Waterworks. She will be sorely missed. May God bless you during this time of loss and may memories of her carry you through.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Helen Lyons. She was truly a joy to be around as we ministered in song with the Harmonious Voices for Christ community choir under the direction of Minister Thomas Dudley. We had so many fascinating times together as a choir. Her laugh, spiritual gifts/talents and persona as a whole will truly be missed, yet treasured in our memories.
