I had the privilege  to get to know Helen this past year, at Harvest Worship Center and she made me feel so welcome! She will be missed by me!

Helen was my mother longer than my birth mother.  All of us, learned countless things from her.  And, I believe she contributed to the 4 youngest grandchildrens foundation.  I know she is happy, but I am still numb about it.  I am so happy that I saw her in October and spoke to her within 3 days of her passing.  I don’t think you can easily describe Helen unless you knew her personally.  I was very lucky to have her in my life.  I am a better person for it.   Marcia Heurich Charney

Dear Family of Helen,
I got to know Helen very shortly after she started attending Harvest Worship Center and we immediately became soul mates. Even though we had come from very different back-grounds, our faith and outlook on spiritual matters was of one accord.
Helen and I sat together on her last Sunday at church; she was happy to be serving the Lord and very peaceful of spirit – what a beautiful lady!!!
My tears are for myself (because I will miss her dearly); however, I know that she is rejoicing to be with the Lord and able to serve Him in a mighty way like she never could here on earth.
May God give Helen’s family a special blessing to help them get through the whole that Helen has left in her passing.
