We are so sad to hear of your loss of Helen. Even though we haven’t seen her in a long time, we remember Helen as a great person with a wonderful personality. We will miss her witty comments. Our prayers & sympathy to the entire family. Due to covid we are unable to come to the service but will keep her in our thoughts that day & always. R.I.P. Helen.
Dorothy Ellis says
Helen was the sweetest and kind person that I had the privilege of knowing and loving. Besides being my beloved sister, she was a friend. We had such fun when we were young and enjoyed laughing and telling childhood stories when we were together. Until COVID caused us to cease spending every Saturday together, we would laugh , sing old songs and exchange memories of growing up together. Miss you and love you always. Your sister, Dorothy

David Rogers says
Mom, the pain and suffering are over. You are free again to walk all over Heaven like you did here on Earth, no longer bound to a chair. I know in my heart that Robbie came to meet you to escort you to Gods kingdom and glory. May you find it full of peace and so many animals to care for you’ll be bust for eternity. Love you and will always miss you.
