  1. Joyce & Dale, So sorry to read about Helen. My mom (Dessie) and your mom were good friends and worked together at East School. We will be out of town on Monday and will not be able to attend the services but wanted you to know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

  2. Aunt Helen was a very special person and will always hold a dear place in my heart. It’s with great regrets I was not able, do to health issues, to attend her memorial service.

  3. Aunt Helen was a pretty neat lady. I can remember all the nights I spent at the house in the country. Underneath that heavy comforter with the windows open and the attic fan on. What fun I had and great memories. Also when Joyce and I were helping collecting eggs and I saw the first soft shelled egg. A lot of good memories on your farm.
