  • So sorry to hear about the passing of miss Marsh, she was a nice lady.

  • As a child, when we would visit from Florida, I remember Aunt Helen making us the best Philly Hoagies, at Nannie’s house.
    I am so glad my husband Bob and I got to visit with Aunt Helen, Cheryl, David and Aunt Lois two years ago.
    Love and Hugs, Barb and Bob

  • You will always be my beloved Aunt Helen and will hold a very big space in my heart. My childhood is filled with so many memories of you and the love and kindness you so freely gave me and others. I now know where my endless love of four-foots originated as well as potato chips! And now sweet angel you can rest in peace with your family and friends who have waited for this moment to greet you with open arms. Blessings to your family as they carry your legacy forward. My love always, Dottie
