Helen was a lovely, shining example of a Christian person. She will be missed.
Helen was a kind, good hearted lady. I was lucky to call her friend.
We will continue to miss Helen at our Tuesday Ladies Meetings and our church service and coffee on Sundays. She was a faithful and much enjoyed member of our Saint Matthew and Mark family.
Helen was a bright light wherever she went…a sad loss to our M&M family.
Rest in peace, dear Helen.
Dear David and Deb: I have such fond memories of your Mom at Stagette meetings at our house in Seekonk. I was young and we were sent to bed and we always could hear your Mom laughing, her laugh was infectious. When my Mom attended to St.Michaels in Rumford we would go
to the suppers and always sit with Helen, she was the best! She is definately with the angels crocheting and making everyone smile. RIP Helen. My Mom loved her so much.
What a terrific lady, always a lot of fun! She will be missed at church. She is with the angels now.
