Aunt Helen was a very special person and a wonderful Aunt! We will greatly miss her but we believe she is reunited with her family in heaven. May she rest in peace and be greatly blessed for all her kindness to so many during her lifetime.
Aunt Helen led a wonderful life. One filled with the love of her Lord, her family and her friends. She volunteered for numerous organizations and was always there to lend a helping hand. I was honored to call her Aunt and will cherish each and every memory I have of her. She was an angel on earth and has earned a special place in Heaven. Joe and Nikki join me in saying how much we will miss her. Rest in peace Aunt Helen your work here on earth is done and your eternity is going to be as wonderful as you are.
Donnie and I thought the world of Aunt Helen. I am so glad I had the privilege of knowing this beautiful and special lady.
Ms. Helen was a sweetheart and dear friend. I would visit with her, Mary Bailey and Elsie Bowles who I referred to as my Divas. She was always so grateful for a gift, visit, winning at bingo or a parting kiss. Ms. Helen you lived a good, long life…I still wasn’t ready to let you go. I will think of you always. xxxxooo Sharon
Our condolences to the family. What a sweetheart Your Aunt Helen was. She had a heart of gold. What fond memories you all will have to cherish of her.
Aunt Helen was a great lady. She loved her family very much. She is probably saying the rosary with her sisters and having a great card party in heaven.
To The Family Of Helen,

Deepest Sympathy to the family of Aunt Helen from Margie and Charlie Padgett
Aunt Helen Was a wonderful person and will be remembered for her kind heart and giving nature. We had many great times with her and the family and she will be missed.We send condolences to the family and our prayers.
Dearest Helen: You have your reward!! You are now in the loving arms of Our Lord and Savior. We shared MANY good times with the Southern Maryland American Legion Auxiliary Unit 221 in Avenue. You served as President and just about EVERY office. You served with dignity and honor. You LOVED being in the Auxiliary. I can remember many trips to OC for the Legion/Auxiliary Convention. We had such good times there. Not going to tell stories out of school…. You always had a smile and a kind greeting whenever we met. I will miss seeing you at the Center. Rest peacefully until we meet again.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Helen’s passing. She was a wonderful lady, kind to all. We were so grateful that she was at the nursing center when my mother, Mabel, became a resident. Seeing Cousin Helen was a great comfort to Mama, and she may not have adjusted as well as she did had it not been for Helen. We’ll miss seeing her and her smile. We love you Helen. God bless you.
Mary was a wonderful kind person that will be truly missed by myself and everyone who knew her at the Nursing Center. My prayers to the family.
To the Family of Mrs. Seymour: Always smiling, never complaining and always a sweetheart. I will miss seeing her at the table in the dining room and moving up and down the hallways on the 2nd Floor of St. Mary’s Nursing Center. Heaven has received another angel!
A very sweet lady is now a beautiful angel in heaven. Treasure your memories in your heart and she will live forever.
