Happy Blessed 93rd Birthday , Aunt Helen!
As I reflect on this year-long Covid-19 Season, the Death, Trial and Conviction of George Floyd, the “Black Lives Matter “Movement, the riot and break in at the Capital; I am reminded that as a strong, black, intelligent woman, that YOU were, YOU would remind us...
*be sure you have a personal relationship with Jesus,
*pray daily,
*read, stand on, and trust in God’s Powerful Word, always,
*God is in control and He will do what He said He’d do in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Aunt Helen, YOUR belief in God taught us to walk daily in these beliefs!! Thank YOU! We love YOU! Forever RIP!
Ralph, Pam, Sandra, Ivan, Tricia, Junior & Franklin

Auntie as I reflect on your 93rd birthday I appreciate all the times you make sure I drink orange juice to begin my day before leaving to teach my first graders! It definitely kept me healthy! Each year to kick off Spring season I always get the “praying hands” plant for our house! ❤️you and miss your niece Marilyn Annette

Still missing you auntie. You would have been 90 today. Thanks so much for your unselfish love of taking care of my mommy and allowing her to finish Manassas High School after your beloved mom died. Mom's diploma remains on our wall today. We will remember your kindness forever.

Marilyn, I know how special your aunt was to you and how you took such good care of her. I know you will have so many special memories and it is comforting to know that she is in hands that are as caring and loving as the hands she had to take care of her here on earth. God be with you and your family during the loss of one so special.
