Helen was a beautiful person. We were so grateful for her friendship with our family. Hugs and Prayers. Love
Dear Gary and Family – I am sorry and deeply saddened by your tremendous loss of your dear mother. Please know you are being held close in thought and prayer during this painfully difficult time. Sending my heartfelt condolences and many hugs.
My memories of Aunt Helen will always be very special to me. She always had time to visit with me, laugh and share stories. One of my fondest memories of her is when she would drive me to Jill’s Pantry for a hoagie after I mowed Mam-Ma’s grass and she mowed hers. We savored every bite! She was one of a kind! I was blessed to have her as my aunt and loved the time she shared with me and my family. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
So sorry for your loss. Helen was a sweet neighbor. R. I. P. Helen! Heaven has a New Angel!
As long as I can remember Helen (and Ed) were a part of my family’s life. Our family is so sorry to hear of her passing. Mom still remembers all the fun that Helen, Ed and her and Dad had together. Mom just will not be able to attend the visitation. Just wanted you to know that you all are in the Gunnell’s thoughts and prayers.
