An Inspiration

September 16, 2015

As Helen and I worked together on her life story in 2012, I consistently marveled at her strength of character. She persisted through losses, adversity and setbacks with spunk, intelligence and assertiveness to arrive at the final stage of life with a smile. It was pure joy to help her say all that she wanted others to know before her time came to watch over us from Heaven. Thank you, Susan, for the rare privilege of writing for Aunt Helen.

Like a Sister (George Carney)

September 16, 2015

Helen was my best friend since 1943.  She helped get me into the Navy.  She used to practice her cooking on me for her boyfriends.  I knew Mike, too.  He was a great guy and it was great when they got together.  She was like a sister to me, had a heart of gold, was a nice person, and she loved everybody.  I’m gonna miss her so.  I’ve always prayed for her and I’m gonna pray for her every night to God because she’s at peace now.  I used to go see John and wait for him to come home and Helen used to cook for me, and she did all the housework.  She was a wonderful person and I’ll always lover her.
