"I am so grateful to have known Helen. I learned many lessons from her. The first: She always took time to visit with others. Whenever she saw me, she always stopped what she was doing to visit with me. She was genuinely interested in me. The second: She was so supportive of activities. She took time out her schedule to attend activities that had been planned. I know she appreciated the efforts of those who organized activities and was such a great supporter!! The third: Helen was always fun to visit with. She knew about lots of things and continually kept learning. The fourth: Helen was a Christ-like friend and person. She radiated a peace and contentment in her life. She loved her Savior and sweetly went about being His hands and serving those around her. I will miss her friendly greeting to me, her beautiful smile, and seeing her outside, watering her yard. I know that all she accomplished here on earth will continue with her into the next life."
In loving memory of
