I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Helen's daughters, grandchildren and extended family during this sad and difficult time. Helen and I worked together for several years and always enjoyed talking about our families. Helen would beam when sharing cute stories about her grandchildren, the delight of her life! Her family came first for her always.

Helen was truly selfless and shared so much of her life with all who knew her. And, as everyone knew, Helen was also the best cook! Our office would always get so excited when she would bring in her delicious desserts. She was always so generous and giving like that. She was also there, willing to help others, no matter how inconveniencing it may be for her at the time. She did so without complaint. She will truly be missed by me and all of her friends.

Sharon,Yolanda & Family,



May your beautiful and loving memories of your mother sustain you in your time of bereavement. I worked with Helen at the Richmond Department of Social Services for a number of years. She was an asset in CPS- she was our "baby angel." She took care of the babies. With sincere sympathy.
