I don't know of any other human being who has been a more decent person, who has been kinder, more gracious, or sweeter than Helen. We count ourselves so incredibly blessed to have known her and loved her. She touched our lives in many, many indelible ways, and she is forever in our hearts. We miss her so much already. We are so grateful to you for sharing her with us. We pray for comfort, peace and love for you now and always.

Mike and I want to extend our heartfelt sympathy for all of you with the loss of your mother. She was a sweet lady whom I had the privileged to know and treat since 1991.

I worked with Helen in Shelbyville and she was delightful. Every day. After she retired I frequently saw her around town and she always had that wonderful smile. I know you all will miss her. My thoughts are with your families.
