May The Lord encourage, comfort, and strengthen Dina, Lisa, and family and love ones during this time. As you weep because Helen is no longer here on earth with you, try not to be overcome with sorrow. Remember also Helen's love for The Lord, for her family, for her  love ones, for her friends, and even for those who are sometimes hard to love .  She tried to love and demonstrate it like Jesus would.Be encouraged that though Helen is absent from the body she is present with The Lord.I will always remember you Helen and the blessing you were to my family and me.

To My Beloved Cousin, 
Your heart was always so caring and giving never forgetting to remember sending the most beautiful Christmas cards and yours would be the first one we would receive!  I can remember Momma saying that’s Helen she’s my first neice and how she would pack you and loved spoiling you! You were the first to help us when the ceiling fell over her! Thank you for all the love you have given us!
Now we know that you are in a peaceful place where there’s no more suffering or heartaches for “Heaven is Your Home”! 
As you heard your name, you answered his call, “well done my good and faithful servant” and you entered into his kingdom!  Helen, may you rest in “Heavenly Peace!”
“Love, your cousin”
Lura

My memories of my oldest first cousin Helen, is that she was Saved,
Sanctified, Holy Ghost filled and fire Baptized. Always happen to
see ever one, especially if it had been a while.

Gone but not forgotten.  Rest in peace cousin until that great
coronation held in the middle of the air.

May God strength all family members, now and forever.

Thereatha and Billy R. Bennett

You are a beautiful person inside out ; now you’re wearing your angels’ wings.
Daughter Dina

I will miss you mommy ;
 daughter Dina Harvey

Mom’s extended family - me daughter; w/ my two kids Son Jonathan Bank daughter Tamesha Pearson; grandkids Sammie Hicks III & ; Kyrie Pearson (Helen’s great grandkids 
( Shan on the left  became fam)

My Mommy my Heart ; my Love ; my chastiser & disciplinarian; my joy  ; my voice of wisdom & reasoning ; my reminder to always be grateful; even if complaining or feeling unhappy about whatever.  She taught me”baby” put Jesus at the center of it & baby “pray “ about it ; I passed what I could glean of her kids.  I was the middle child & her unexpected baby after my brother was born & he was autistic.    She never ever made me feel like a mistake or unwanted; never ever told me negative words like I didn’t want a baby.    My mom told me every day she was around me even in ending a brief conversation; baby I love ❤️; sometimes she may say I really do especially when she knew I was a bit down or life was “ lifing”
She was our encouragement & she always worked hard to immulate “hope”
even near the end she’d push out a laugh or smile even when her body was in pain.  
She was a force to be reckoned with; her mark was with all she met; impressionable and so unforgettable.  A light & a strength. 
In 2021 rehab she ministered to those caring for them & immulated the love of Jesus.
In her last few hospital stays she let us know whom she did or didn’t like lol ; & even when her speech was impaired.  There were moments she stared at me eyeball to eyeball & me back at her ; her middle child.
Moments of true recognition & moments I asked her whe at herself if knew me. 
Her last ICU & hospitalization was rough. 
I love , miss ,respect & admire the legacy she was & is FOREVER in My heart 💜; her middle child she deserves a “purple heart” - my mom was a “true WARRIOR “ in my eyes  , FOREVER!! & ever!!

Thank you Aunt Helen for being a part of my life. I have always admired how you raised your girls to be God fearing people. Even though we were related by you marrying my uncle I have always loved you as one of my favorite aunts. Nothing could ever change that. I thank you for how you supported me when I came out of the kingdom of darkness into Gods glorious light. That meant so much to me. I appreciate how you told me to not give up on my family and remember that I too was once lost but God pulled me out. I’m gonna miss your sweet personality. As believers we never say goodbye forever but so long for now. I know I will see you again. 
Love your nephew 
Larry

Dear family and friends, thanks for your prayers and support! We appreciate all the love and pictures, she had more pics of others than herself, so please upload anything you have of my grandmother! Thank you all very much!
