She rest now in peace with our Lord and savior.Amen
Sorry for your loss she is with your dad now.God bless your family
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this diffcult time!
I worked with Helen for many years in the Operating Room at GMC. She was the most caring of nurses. Her patients received her total attention and love during their time in the OR. She never failed to help if you asked. She never failed to teach the “newbies” when asked. She was the epitome of a dedicated OR nurse. I know the family will feel a big loss with her gone. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Heaven has one of the sweetest angels it could ever know!
What a sweet, sweet service! I know Helen went to heaven knowing how much she was loved. I worked with Helen for many years at Gwinnett Medical. She was truly one of the kindest and most thoughtful nurses. We all loved working with Helen, not just because she was a good nurse, but also because of who she was as a person. She will be missed by so many.
