So sorry. My heart goes out to all.
My deepest sympathies to Helens family. She was a lovely lady with a huge heart. She was a great friend to my mom Judy Farrell. Her loss is felt throughout. She is fondly remembered by me for a few things. Other than always having my Mary Kay ready before I even called, we love her oyster cracker recipe!! It’s always a huge hit. But most of all her kindness and patience will always be remembered.
I am so sorry for all of you at the loss of Helen. Mothers will always have a special place in our hearts. Thinking of you.
We are very sorry for your loss. Aunt Helen was a very sweet and caring person.
We are so sorry for your loss. Helen will always be remembered for her kind heart. I am so sorry I wasn’t feeling well and missed this day today. I will always carry her in my heart.
