Helen was an old neighborhood friend. She always had a smile and a laugh throughout all of our school years together . I enjoyed her recipes on Facebook and regularly used them. Helen is now in a heavenly place with God's arms around her .

Helen served as my supervisor when I first joined AMI where she had worked many years ago. She now joins an elite group of AMI Angels who have gone before us. Helen was a kind, compassionate, and generous individual who valued her family and friends deeply. She enjoyed life and approached it with joy and enthusiasm. May the memories of Helen provide comfort and peace in the days ahead. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of such a remarkable person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time for strength and comfort. May Helen find eternal rest and peace in the arms of our Lord, and may her soul rise in glory. You will be truly missed. Peace to you Helen. Most Sincerely, Jill Queen
