You are all in my thoughts and prayers today. I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Helen. As a child it was always the best home to visit. She was always a kind and giving lady. She was an excellent waitress always smiling faces and laughter in the air. Rest peacefully Aunt Helen, God bless you for all the hearts and souls you touched on earth. You will always have a place in my heart.

Sad to hear of the passing of Helen she has been a dear friend since I was just a little girl. I moved away from Earnshaw back in 1957. Made many trips back while my Mother, Lucille Smith was living and it was always a special joy to get to visit with Helen. She will be missed.
