Aunt Helen was truly blessed with loving children and family who cared so much for her throughout her life. We are blessed with wonderful memories of time spent with her throughout her life. Family reunions, family birthday parties and graduation celebrations always found Helen there, truly enjoying the companionship and love of her family. We are better for having her in our lives!
With great love, Darrel and Julie
