Dear Becky and Robin, We are so sorry to hear of your mother Helen's passing. We were neighbors on Garden Drive until we moved. She was always so friendly and actually was the first to meet us and befriend us when we moved there. After my son Jeff moved out of the house she invited us to her house for Thanksgiving dinner so we would not be alone at that time of year. She had a good heart. We have kept in touch through the years via Christmas cards. I will always remember her kindness. She is with Jim now, I know how difficult it was for her with his passing. God bless you and your family. Connie and Jerry Clark

Robin, Becki, Wendy and J.R., I HONESTLY wish you all MY SINCERE condolensces as well as to the rest of your family. Robin and Becki, I really did care deeply for your Mom and Jim. I know the letter I sent her really upset her and I AM SO VERY SORRY. I WAS SORRY AFTER I DROPPED IT IN THE MAILBOX. I tried to get them to return it to me, but they wouldn't. I tried to call your mom and apologize but she wouldn't talk to me. I don't blame her. I have missed her since long before now. I have always been so very sorry I upset her and hurt her the way I did. I REALLY AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT I WROTE TO HER. I tried to take it back and I tried to apologize for the things that I worte. I have her missed since long before now. I hope that she can hear me now and see through my tears, that I really, honestly cared deeply about her and am truly sorry. And I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU TWO FOR WHAT I DID. Even in my grief over Dad's passing and then my brother Richard's passing, and then getting the paper's after it was too later to fix them, it was no reason for me to write what I did. I don't expext forgiveness from her or from you two. I just want to express MY APOLOGIES and MY DEEPEST SINCERE SYMPOTHY. HELEN WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON, AND JIM TOO. THEY ARE BOTH SADLY MISSED, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. Robin, I just wanted to tell you that I was sorry and that you have my sympothy, that's why I called. But I guess it is better this way. I wasn't going to come to the funeral home and upset you and Becki with my presence there. If you want to tell me off, and take your pain out on me, you are welcome to, I deserve it. May God Bless You All and be with You the rest of today and especially tomorrow.

I was so saddened to here that Helen had passed away. I met Helen when she was ready to sell her house on Garden Drive. She called our office and I was lucky enough to get the phone call. She was a true inspiration to me as I admired her get up and go. Not only did we work together to sell her house, but through the process we became friends. I used to tell her that she had the nicest legs. And she did! My deepest condolences to all of you.

Robin, Becki, and family, I am so sorry to hear that Helen passed away. What a lovely wonderful woman she was (and is). I'm glad that I called last Friday and had the opportunity to talk with her. There is a scripture that comes to mind when I think of your mom, "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." I am honored and privileged to have known Helen Williamson. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Janice Hasley Dixon Nursing and Rehab
