I love my Auntie Helen and miss her dearly. She was a very classy lady with a ready and hearty laugh. This is a late post as it's been almost six years since you left us. I pray you are enjoying heaven with Uncle Tony, Grandma, Grandpa, and my beloved father.

Grandma - You will always be in my thoughts, I wish we could have had more time together, but what little time we did have I will chairish always.  Love and miss you, but for now I will still have a small piece of you here within my father.  Till we meet again...

My fondest memory is when I was little and grandma would wear high heels like Barbie. I would put them on when she was not looking. She also bought me a little school desk and thought me to read and wright. This was all during the three years we lived in St. Louis I would fallow her every were and when it came to bed time I always had to stay with grandma and sleep in her bed right between her and grandpa poor grandpa they never had time to there selfs as long as I was there. Grandma I love you a will miss you always but your now with the love of your life, and you family love Genia

As we mourn the passing of Grandma, Great Grandma and Great Great Grandma, we remember the memories with love and are blessed to be able to pass those memories on to our future generations.  St. Louis has such a connection with us and it all has to do with the family that was and still is there. We are sad to have lost Grandma but know that she has been united with those that went before her and is looking down on us with love and pride

My grandmother was a wonderful woman, although miles between us kept us apart she is forever in my heart.  I have fond memories with her and my grandfather in both St. Louis and California.  I will never forget all the times my Dad "Anthony SR." would tell grandma I pinched him or hit him to watch her scold me; when in fact she watched him tap me.  I can still hear her say "NO, not my Anthony! He is such a good boy!"  ha ha ha....He defiantly had her fooled!!!  I love you grandma.  It lifts my heart to know that you are home with the Lord and reunited with Grandpa and Grandma Negro, along with all our other relatives I never  had the honor to meet.  Until we are reunited I will miss you , however you will forever live in my memories and in my heart!!

Auntie Helen, you made life sweeter for me.  I am so thankful that God chose you to be my Aunt and very dear friend.  I miss you already and look forward to seeing you again someday.  I love you.  Mandy
