    Loved working in the Children’s Division for many years with Helen. She loved her children and was passionate about teaching them about Jesus. I think all my own children had her as a teacher too. Know the Lord said loud and clear to her, well done thou good and faithful servant. A life well spent. I know it’s a bittersweet time but I rejoice with you in her Homegoing.

    I enjoyed watching Helen on her walks when I lived on Blue Ridge Blvd and then met her and became friends when she moved to Bowen . What a beautiful soul! My privilege to have gotten to know her.

    I am at a loss for words. Art and Helen were both so kind and welcomed everyone into their home. My first Christmas Eve with Cary Dean Curran was spent at the Davis house and of course I was overwhelmed with new faces. I am so grateful that everyone is still my family after all the losses we have faced. May God bless us all as we face this loss together.
