I met Helen when I moved to Harrison. She lived behind me and we became very good friends. I loved your mother dearly. We spent many hours together. May she rest in peace. Love you Helen
This is a bit late...but just now got into my email...been locked out, and don't get a paper....Was shocked and saddened to hear Helen had passed....I wish I had known...the last time I ran into her was at the Dollar Store and we must have stopped and chatted for at least 30 minutes or more....I loved her...She was a fiesty thing....I sometimes would just go visit and give her some company.....She was a very special lady to me. May she rest in peace. I pray for comfort for the family and know that she loved her girls....she told me so many stories...I would just sit and listen....She reminded me of my own mom so I took a liking to her the first time I met her....
Dear Pam we were all so sorry to hear of your mothers passing, all our thought are with you at this very sad time.
Love from Mark, Lyndsay, Jacob and Madeleine

TO PAM AND DONNA
I WISH YOU PEACE DURING THIS TRYING TIME! MAY GOD BLESS YOU BOTH! YOUR MOM IS WITH YOUR DAD AND MY PARENTS(SHELLYS GRANDMA AND GRANDPA) AND THEY ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT THEIR KIDS! TAKE CARE PAM!
It's been a very long time since we've spoken, but even after all these years, I still clearly remember seeing that little white car out back and knowing that Helen was home and Pam might come out to play. Helen is someone I will always remember. I know she is at peace now and finally reunited with Bud and the family that passed over before her. Pam and Donna, I wish you love and light in this trying time. To everything there is a season.....
Shelly
