Will always remember Helen for the prayer warrior that she was. I remember going to her home so she could pray for me and my family. You always knew her prayers reached our Heavenly Father.

My wife (Ruth) and I send our sincere condolences to all my Aunt Helen's living relatives and especially her children. Helen was my most positive aunt about me furthering my education by attending college when my own parents were not. I will always remember my Aunt Helen for that. I am sorry that I never told her how good her positive view made me feel. She said that my example made her want to sent all her children to college. I believe she did exactly that.
