Dear Joe, Jeff & Family,
My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your Mother. I worked with Helen at Enka Middle School. She was a wonderful person. Helen and Harold invited me to visit their church. That was about 7 or 8 years ago. My husband and I still go to Starnes Cove Baptist Church. May God Bless you and your families during this difficult time. Cherish your memories always..
Dear Joe and Jeff,
I send you my deepest sympathies in the passing of your precious mother, Helen. I have such wonderful, fond memories of Helen. I have missed her since I left Asheville and will never forget her. God has brought her home and she’s with your Daddy. I pray that God gives you strength, mercy and grace through this sad time. I know you will miss her greatly, but keep your eyes on the Lord. He will comfort you. God Bless You.
