Bill, I am so sorry to hear about you loss. It's been 13 years since we moved away from Kokomo to Cincinnti and lost you as a neighbor but never forgot you as our friends. I drove past your house at Christmas thinking I'd stop in and say HI, but no one was at home. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Helen was wonderful woman and neighbor. She became a "Grandma" to my very young children when they really needed one. She and Bill gave all of us love and caring that only "Grandparents" could do. My heart breaks to hear of her passing. My family and I love her and Bill with all of our hearts. Rest in peace dear sweet Helen. We love you.

We will miss Helen so much and cherrish all the fond memories of sharing in our Family reunions every August with the family, Helen and Bill so gratiously hosting us at their home while we were in town. I will forever have a place in my heart as her being a sister that I never had. Peace be with you until we meet again.
Our Love,

We will remember Helen for the delicious chocolate cheesecake purchased at the Kiwanis Bake Sale. She hand delivered the recipe to us.

It was always such a pleasure to see Helen at the Townsend reunion, she always had a smile on her face. She was a true standard bearer for that reunion and along with Richard will truly be missed

We are going to miss you very much Helen. When we're around, you can count on us to help Bill out too. We've very much enjoyed the time we've been together over the years since we met you. Sorry we can't be there now. You'll always be remembered and missed. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the whole family.

GOD BLESS
