Helen was a lovely lady. I looked after her for a short time when she first moved to Cottonwoods. She will be missed.
Our heartfelt sympathies on the passing of your mother/grandmother.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Helen’s passing. We had many great conversations over the years about family, life, animals and gardening. Every time we spoke, whether in her garden, sitting out in the shade, in her kitchen or on the phone she would speak of her children and grandchildren. She told me about growing up in a big family, meeting Bing and raising the family. When she went into care she would tell me how many books she had read. I think she lost count at 378. Helen had such a kind, caring heart and she was proud of each and everyone of you. I hope you will find comfort in the memories you made and treasure them always. I will think of her often.
Sincerely Dorothy and John
I miss you so much Grandma. You taught me so many things and loved with your whole heart. I know you are now back in Grandpa Bings arms and are walking with God. Please take care of my Mom and Terri and I will have faith in the day we meet again.
Thank you for loving me.
Love your Baby Granddaughter,
Laura.
