Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Though our time with each of you was comparatively short, God blessed us exceedingly. Helen was very much part of our blessing. We are thankful the Lord provided such a special experience.

  2. Helen was such a special lady to us, a joy to be around and just a person you liked to smile with every time you got to be around her. She was an inspiration and a motivator who will live on in our hearts. When Fran became my “Bonus Mom”, the complete package also included Helen becoming my “Bonus Grand Mom”. Thankful for that.

  3. The first time I went home with Vonnie, Helen tucked me under her wing and became my mother hen. To this day, I still refer to her as my “College Mama”. I have never seen her without a smile. She was a wonderful, remarkable woman. She touched many lives and will definitely be missed.

  4. Helen was precious! She was hospitable, interested, caring, and I felt like part of the family when I visited. Rejoicing because I know where she is today. Extending my condolences and prayers to John and family. She will be missed.

  5. Helen was such a loved Lady. We were lucky to be next door neighbors to her and John for many years in Candler and have fond memories of both of them. Condolences to her family and John.
