Aunt Helen,
I miss you so much already. I am going to cherish your memory and celebrate your life. You were the best aunt that a girl could ever wish for. All of the genuine love, strength, support & family values you have passed onto me are present in the care I show to my children. Thank you for setting such a great example. Your memory will live on as I will make it a tradition to do things with my children in your honor. I love you forever.

Aunt Helen,
You have given so much to the ones you loved. So much that we have plenty left over to give to our children. You are proof that love is unconditional and I thank you for giving me that. Forever in my heart and always on my mind.
Your Nephew Thad

Helen,
You were one of the most supportive and loving sisters a woman could ever want. You gave me your love abundantly. When I did something that disappointed you, you checked me with heartfelt and honest communication. Your heart and soul was amazing and I feel so honored to be able to say that you ARE my sister forever and always.
Love Your Baby Sister Cynthia
