Joan, Rob and I are very sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. Please know that our thoughts are with you at this time.
I have such wonderful memories of your mom. She was a loving and gentle person with the warmest smile. Terry and I both express our sypathies to her family.
My sincere sympathy to the family. Helen was a special person. I think of her gracious and loving ways, her devotion to Calvary Church and the UCW, and the love she had for her family. I counted her as a true and valued friend. She will be missed.
Helen greeted everyone in church with a smile. She was a good friend. I often played Scrabble with her at Second Milers. She will be missed by her many friends at Calvary.
