Helen left behind a legacy that will be remembered by all those who had the honor of knowing her. She lived a life full of kindness and loved her family more than anything in the world.

We will always remember her heart of gold, her helping hand and the way she made each and every one of us feel so special. She left us with a lifetime of memories to cherish and we will carry her in our hearts forever.
