      Helen was a dear friend who I waited on for years at Miller’s fish suppers in Colfax, IN… My husband did some plumbing for them years ago so we had enjoyed their hospitality & also their Bargain Center in Frankfort… In recent years we have hugged every Sunday and she would come to me, a retired nurse myself with health questions… She was a joy to know & had a great smile & sense of humor…
      So sorry for your loss… I have been blessed to know her…May Angels greet her as she goes home to Heaven, God Bless, Suilon Benjamin

    Ed & Rick
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We’ve known Helen for 40 plus years, she will be dearly missed by all of the Guajardo, Castillo, Jackson, Garcia, Rosales, Hernandez, Anderson, Davis, Miller & Echeverria. Some of my brothers and sisters and myself have worked for them at the Bargain Center. John and Helen was like part of our family. We’ve stayed in touch all these years. I’m so sorry I won’t be able to attend her last farewell but, my brothers and sisters will be present at her showing. My Deepest Condolences goes out to you both and your family. We will always love her and missed her.
