    Grandma Helen you are an inspiration to how a person should live their life. I enjoyed every second we shared and every moment we talked on the phone growing up. I will always remember that no matter what keep your Coca-Colas cold and ready for when company arrives. I am happy for the life you lived and even more so in the reuniting of you and your love, Grandpa Bill. I love you and will forever miss my great grandma.

    Aunt Helen, you are sure going to be missed down here, but you will be welcomed in Heaven by your parents, your husband & your siblings, among others. You & mom will be playing Yahtzee in Heaven & you, dad & mom will be playing Rummy & Checkers, I’m sure. I am so proud you were my aunt. Hug everyone’s neck for me & rub Uncle Jack’s earlobe. You will forever be loved & remembered!!

You were a blessing to everyone who met you and your legacy will live forever through everyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing you. Love never ends!

    Helen was a very special lady. She always had a smile and always wanted to know how you we’re doing. I will always have memories of conversations we had. Helen and Bill were two great people. I’m very proud that my children had great role models in their lives. You will be missed.
