I pray God’s blessings on all of you during the coming hours, days, weeks, and months. Remember her sweet smile and love for all of you & her positive attitude about everything. Most of all remember how she accepted God’s forgiveness and His great gift of salvation with her whole heart, and her love for the Lord, and how she wanted all her loved ones to also love him and commit their lives to Him. She set a great example for us all. Love and prayers, Lynne and Milton Denney.

Jack, Helen and her bright smile will be missed by so many. My thoughts are with you and your family.
My husband Gary and I were regulars at Skooter’s for many years and always enjoyed talking with Helen. We drove through Crab Orchard looking for her one time on our way to Florida. We laughed about it with her later as she had moved back to Columbus. I was visiting this year and got to see her while we were both visiting Skooter’s. God bless the family.
