Helen was a good woman and a good friend. She would do anything to help anybody. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. Helen will be greatly missed by anyone that knew her. We love and will miss you so Helen.
Rosa Perdue and Bobbie Dunn
When I started coming to Nottingham Helen was one of the first to welcome me. She loved my great grandchildren. She always held my grandson Jessie during church and she always got him to sleep. One Sunday I forgot his bottle Helen drove to Food City and bought him a bottle. She washed it and then he sat with her. At six months he wouldn’t go to anyone but me and still won’t. I know Helen missed him. We will miss her very much. We loved you Miss Helen and we won’t forget you. Rita, Emmy, and Jessie
