I am sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. She was always full of class and a smile. A great waitress at the VFW and the last time our family was there was for my birthday and Helen was taking our orders and found out it was my birthday and she and another waitress sang Happy Birthday to me!!! She was looking forward to her new pool because Cary was known for napping in their old pool.Thinking of your family at this difficult time.

It was heartbreaking to hear about Helen. I was just casually acquainted with her, through my job at Blanchard's. I loved the short little visits we had. She was always smiling and always so kind. She was a class act. Very special lady. So grateful our paths crossed. Your loss of this special woman must be unbearable. My deepest condolences to her family.

Dear Cary & Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Helen! We all loved her so much! She was always sharing beautiful Spiritual messages to all of her family and friends! She loved Jesus! She would wake up ready to serve her Lord! My heart aches for you all knowing she won’t be here on earth anymore! She is in a great place, (if we can only imagine) so that gives us comfort knowing this, but still it’s hard for all of us she left behind! Hold onto those memories, and for your hurting hearts give it to God! God knows all, and even though we don’t understand why good people need to leave so soon, God knows and someday we will know too! Right now God needed her more, and she was called to go home to her heavenly home! We love you all, and pray God gives you comfort through this sad sad time! Big Hugs & lots of prayers, Love, Vicky & Verl🙏❤️
