    So sorry to lose my friend, Helen. We were friends from the time I went to work in the Highway office in 1956! It was a good time. Our sympathy to Carabeth, Ed, Ashley and the rest of her family.

    So sad to hear of Helen’s passing. She hired me for my first job other than babysitting. I worked at the souvenir stand at Spring Mill. She was so funny and my family loved her dearly. I went to visit her a few times when I came back to Mitchell. We talked like it was yesterday. She will be missed. Prayers to her family.

    I always enjoyed visiting with Helen. She was a witty lady who liked to laugh. We shared a love of dogs. Prayers for the family.
