    Aunt Helen was always an inspiration to me even though I moved away from Frankfort as a young girl. She held a special place in my heart. My mother shared many memories over the years of the time when my father was fighting in WWII. My mother was pregnant with me and I was born while my father was still serving our country. Aunt Helen was always there to lend any support mom and I needed during this difficult time. It created a bond between all of us that never went away. I can still hear Aunt Helen tell me every time I would talk to her after mom died “Oh honey…I miss your mom so much”. I always felt so much love when I was talking to her or spending time with her when we would come home for vacation. She lived a long and full life and touched the hearts of everyone who knew her…god bless you Aunt Helen…may you rest in peace.

    The Branagin & McIntosh Family,
    It is with heartfelt sorrow that we write on this day to express our love for our sweet Aunt Helen. I will always cherish the many years of celebration on her lawn watching the annual 4th of July fireworks display at the park. I have so many unforgettable childhood memories of family gatherings. Thank you for teaching us the true meaning of family.
    For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
    God Bless
    Derek, Leslie, Elle, and Ridge
