I was so very sorry to read of Helen's passing. We had been high school friends even thought she was in Linden and I in Jefferson. We later connected as adults and I was always very fond of Helen and admired her great talents. She was also a very pretty lady inside and out. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
I will miss your warm smile and your music mostly the love you shared with us and the love of Jesus.When I think of all the seeds you planted and how wonderful the reunion was when Jesus called you home .We will miss you Love Sandra
