Address: Montgomery, AL

Helen is my youngest sister.  I'd say little sis, but she was 2 inches taller than me.  We have had so many wonderful family get togethers , including a family reunion in Gatlinburg two years ago.  We especially loved trips with our grandchildren at spring breaks and summers.  I will sure miss her!  My heart goes out to Gerald and her children and families and her great friends!  Also our sister Sandy and her whole family.   She was so upbeat during her bout with cancer.  We are so thankful for all her prayer warriors!

People talk about “phone friends” and having phone friends in your life. I had a very special “Angel on this Earth” phone friend. My phone friend was Helen Mize, best customer service manager for Verizon ever! We met spring 1996 when my mother was hospitalized with Alzheimer’s and stroke that landed her in Baptist Hospital.  I’d never even thought of a mobile phone until May 1996. My mother’s health was rapidly declining. As her primary caregiver, I was trying to come up with a plan when she was released from hospital to get her admitted into quality nursing home  care. 
I went into what was then ALLTEL I believe on Atlanta Highway in Montgomery, AL before Verizon bought them out. There’s where our friendship began, and it was a special caring, loving friendship for 24 years until her passing on July 5, 2020. 
Helen was not only the BEST in Verizon management, but customer service and connecting with her clients was her #1 asset. She had a special gift for reading her customers and making friends with so many of us. Helen’s career objective was not to increase sales, or a certain percentage Helen was trying to reach that month – it was her genuine smile. Her really caring about her customers, and in our case we became best friends for all these years. 
I’d keep up with Gerald, her children, grandkids, and especially our pets. We shared a love for animals. Her Birthday was mid-January, and I often brought her a caramel cake for New Year’s  or her Birthday. Heaven sure gained an Angel when she went to be with God. And he’s now got a Phone Friend and Manager in his eternal kingdom. Helen will always be my “best phone buddy” and SHE is the reason we’ve stayed with Verizon now for 24 years. What a wonderful authentic friend Helen was. She’d go above and beyond for me and my family. Helen saw me through many a dark day, she knew my Mother was dying with Alzheimer’s and she truly cared how my Mom was doing and how I was holding up. She was one remarkable friend. Miss her.

Helen was a dear friend, so thoughtful,caring,kind, and fun to be with.  She loved her family dearly and had many friends.  She was the type of friend you wish could always be near.  She fought her illness with great strength and dignity, but couldn't win that battle.  How nice it is to know she at last is at peace and with Jesus.

Having my Mom there and seeing her with a huge smile watching me as I completed my class to get NCCER Nationaly Certified in Heavy Equiptment Opperations and Constructions Skills was one of my best memories. 
   I LOVE YOU MOM
