We want to share our deepest condolences and sympathy for your loss. We loved Helen so much! She was a force to be reckoned with and she gave Dr. Bay her opinions on beer every time we saw her. We shared so many laughs when she was in the office. She was a beautiful soul and we will always cherish our memories of Helen. 
Dr. Bay, Terri, Debbie, Hailey and Michelle

My last memory with Grandma was after I helped her in the car, I bent down to say goodbye.  She took my face in both of her hands and I don't remember what she said, but it was as if she knew that it would be the last time we saw each other.  I will never forget the touch of my 95 year old grandmother's hands on my face and looking into her eyes and saying goodbye.  There couldn't have been a more precious or more comforting goodbye to have with her.  

I will love you forever Grandma and you will always be in my heart.

I'm here to tell you my mother was an amazing person. She raised two kids literally on her own. I know for me I gave her alot of headaches growing up. Between the police and other things I've done, moms always done her best to straighten me out.  Well somehow I've turned out ok, and raised my kids to become awesome adults. 
      So for all the times she got called to my principals office, I gotten called to her assisted living administrators office. It's amazing how life turns around and the child becomes the parent and the parent becomes the child. 
What goes around cames around in life,  love you mom

My mom was a lady of independence and tenacity. Some may call it spunk or sassiness. She was a woman who managed her own affairs, traveled, and enjoyed the company of others. I admired her quest for knowledge and how she dove into the world wide web to quench her thirst.   Physical  distance kept us apart for most of my adult years so the emails kept us connected and I missed them tremendously when she stopped using the internet.  I will remember your sweet smile mom. Love you mommy. 




My heartfelt condolences. As we await the time when we will be reunited
with our beloved Helen please find comfort in the Bible's message of a
resurrection, and a time when death will be no more. May the God of all
comforts be with you. (Please read John 5: 28, 29; Acts 24:15: 1 Corinthians 15:26)

Helen was a lovely lady and I will miss her at our Golden Girls luncheons.
