    Prayer hands were changed to question marks…………
    So let’s just rephrase this
    “Its never goodbye but rather we WILL see you again one day Aunt Helen.”

    Sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. when i was a young teen I helped take care of her father. He delivered eggs to our family.
    now she has gone to be with the Lord. Great gain. God Bless you all. Sandra Moore-Enyard

    To my always “classy lady” Aunt Helen who was always “all dressed up” and looking beautiful. You are now sharing eternity with your beloved husband, some of your brothers, and your Mother and Dad. But most of all, you’re walking those streets paved with gold with our Lord and savior. What a wonderful reunion you must be having.
    Meanwhile you’ll be missed here or earth by many. I love you and will see you again one day.
