Sandra, Carolyn, Louise and Sharon,
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. When I would get a chance to go to Gate City, I always wanted my mom, Sara Reed, and I to visit Helen. She was a super nice lady. When my mom passed away in 2002, she made the most wonderful raspberry cake. She and Gag were also so nice to visit mom and dad in their Assisted Living place. The four of them, I'm sure, will enjoy being, like the old days, together in Heaven. Much love to all of you and your families. Betty

I don't have to tell you how much my aunt Helen meant to us. She was always my favorite aunt. I will miss her verymuch.
I will look forward to seeing her and welcoming her back in the resurrection. John 5:28,29 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out

Helen was such a special person, mostly because she made you feel special. All the trips with Clara to visit were times I always learned something new about the family. And Daddy thought so much of her. I know you will feel the loss for a long time. But you are not alone.

We were so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We will always remember her warm smiles and big hugs. She
had such a close friendship with my sister and brother-
in-law (Mary & Ed King). How blessed she was to have
such loving and devoted daughters. Our prayers and
thoughts are with all of you.
