James and family, my deepest condolences at the loss of your sweet Helen. She was a remarkable woman and such a devoted wife and Mother/Grandmother. I hold many pleasant memories of times Red & I shared with the two of you. Time and circumstances have led us on different paths for the last several years, but the joy of knowing you and Helen hasn't diminished one bit. My prayers and thoughts will be with you in the coming days.

What beautiful memories I have of growing up with Gloria and spending so much time at the West's home. It was so full of love and I remember so much laughter. I feel so blessed to have had that time together with all of you. Take care and may God bless and comfort you. Love to all.

Jimmy and I send our heartfelt condolences to your family. She was a fun loving sweet lady and I know you all are hurting with this loss.

I (BJ) sure enjoyed playing golf with her too! She always told me all I needed was a 5 iron and a putter!
