Sonny used to live by us in the Groves-he married Helen who worked at the Courthouse with us. She was so good at anything she did and so sweet. She will be missed by all at work and by anyone who knew her.So sorry I cannot go to the visitation or the funeral but my thoughts are with her and the family. God Bless you Helen.

Helen was not only a co worker but also a friend. She was the epitome of what God calls us to be...Caring, genuine and loving. I'm brokenhearted that I cannot pick up the phone and call her but I have the comfort knowing she is well walking along side her Lord. My prayers go go up for her husband, children and grandchildren who she always spoke of with a sparkle in her eyes. May God wrap his arms around you and carry you through this trying time.

I have known Helen the whole of my 27 years at the county. I bought many Avon Barbie dolls from her for my daughter. I always felt like she was such a classy lady. I will miss her around the courthouse. Rest in peace in God's Loving Arms, until we meet again.
