I am keeping your family in my prayers. Judy Morris Didawick 2009-12-23 04:02:08

What a beautiful, happy person Miss Helen was. I cherish the memories of the time we spent together at the river. Even though I haven't seen her in a while, I will miss her. I am happy for her though, because I know she was eager to reunite with Alton. My condolences to the whole family and especially to my dear friend Swanson. -- Kelly Kelly Thompson 2009-12-23 06:05:58

Although born in Ohio, Helen was the personification of a True Southern Lady. A loyal and devoted lady, she treated everyone as family. To my knowledge, she never knew a stranger. Tony D 2009-12-23 13:38:40

Mrs. Williams was my next door neighbor for many years in Farmville. She and her entire family were very special and important to my parents and myself. She & Alton were like a second set of parents for me. I remember playing with the grandchildren every summer and having a grand time. Her loss is like loosing a family member for me. I hope now she can reunite with those gone before her; to include Alton and my parents. May she rest in peace! God Bless you Mrs. Williams; you will always hold a special place in my heart!

I just found out yesterday, January 11th the passing of Mrs. Williams. I was hired by Farm Credit as Mrs. Williams replacement when she was getting ready to retire. We became such good friends and stayed in touch for a while after her retirement. She was such a lovely lady and I know she is at peace now. She and Alton were such a lovely couple.

I seldom get back to Virginia and just learned of your loss. I shall always remember the wonderful memories of those early days when we were growing up and the many kindnesses of Helen to our family. Sid Druen 2010-01-26 04:21:24
