Helen was a beautiful person who touched many lives. The children of the neighborhood loved and respected her. She was always willing to lend an ear when you needed someone to talk to. Always a smile on her face and never to busy to say hello. Helen will be sadly missed by my family and many others. But we will always have our memories of how she was always able to put a smile on our faces and the joy she had when the children visited her,the kindness she had for us and the children. God bless you all in your time of sorrow our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you The Logue Family
Helen was such a wonderful person. I have many great memories hanging out with Helen at her house with her granddaughter Kara. ( I am a friend of Kara’s) We used to visit “Grandma” often and play games with her. She always made sure she had something made for us to eat. We would sit and play long games of scrabble and laugh and laugh. I am so glad that I have such wonderful memories of a wonderful person!! Sara Carrocci Steubenville, oh

Gram, Thank you so much for always treating me as one of your “real” grandchildren. You never considered me not part of the family. It truly has meant the world to me to have you and Pappy in my life. You help me grow into the women I have become. I will always remember you! I love you! Holly P.S. Ladies and gentlemen- CHER!

My sympathy and prayers are with your family at this time. Remember that our loved ones are in our hearts forever.
Although we only had the privilege of visiting with Helen about once a year, she was a delightful lady who became a very caring friend. She was always very kind to others and made us feel very welcome each time we came to visit Mary, Terry and their family. We will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you who loved her so much. Love, Tom & Linda Richardson
