Dear Char and Jim and family, I knew your mom as a dear neighbor to Irene Long. She was always smiling and warm. You two were the model family - who showed us how caring for a parent should be. You blessed Irene and your mother - and their visitors:). May you feel God's loving arms around you in the days ahead. Marsha Fenton, Linden U Methodist Church

I joined the faculty of St. John's in 1969. Helene and Rudy were wonderful to me. Helene was very loving and kind. I will remember her love and dedication to the ministry she shared with Rudy. They were very proud of their girls. You were blessed to have such wonderful parents. I rejoice in the gift of eternal life for Helene.

I am sorry to hear about your loss, I will miss Helene, but will treasure the photo of her which is on display in my dinning room. Each time I look at it I say a prayer for her. I hope that You will find comfort for your loss in the many beautiful memories you have of her. Diana
