Dear Chuck and Jimmy,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother. You probably don't know it, but well into my adulthood, your mama sent me birthday cards every single year until I was at least 35. I think she lost track of me after that, otherwise she'd have still been sending them. I'll always remember Aunt Helen with much fondness. She was such a gentle soul and I wish we had lived closer to your family so we could have grown up knowing each other better. Some of my fondest childhood memories are visits with your family. I remember Uncle Ray and your mama taking us all waterskiing and playing with you boys and having so much fun when we'd visit at your house. You're mama was so soft-spoken and sweet. Again, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear mama. If you're ever in Oregon, please stop by for a visit. Your cousin, Karen

So very sorry for your loss. Ms. Helen was one of the sweetest and nicest ladies I have ever known. She always sat in front of me and my husband at Pine Grove and when she was unable to attend anymore, she was greatly missed. That was just her space. I know there are no words to help and only time to heal but you are in our thoughts and prayers. We loved Ms. Helen very much.

Aunt Helen was one of the most caring and loving people I know. I will alway have a very special place in my heart for her. Many Saturdays when I was young playing with Chuck and Jimmy at Uncle Ray and Aunt Helen's house. Many cups of coffee we shared. We will miss you but know you are in a much better place! Prayers for all.

Aunt Helen was always one of my most favorite people. I absolutely adored her! I will always remember the fun, unique Christmas gifts, some filled with candy, some not, the cherry candy cane sticks, train whistles, the MANY Sundays I would go with mom to her house or Aunt Kesia's, the WalMart trips, going with her to take Grandma to doctors appointments and tagging along when her, mom and Aunt Kesia went to Harrison for a weekend to see some family. She was the most kind, caring and affectionate women I know. Chuck. Deb, Jimmy, Nancy, Aubrey and the rest of my sweet family, you are all in my prayers! I love you all. RIP Aunt Helen. I love you so much!
