I grew up in Piggott. I was a few years older than Helen and Paula. They rode the school bus that I rode. We would go down the dead end road to pick them up. The little community was called Square Town. You never knew what Helen would be up too when she got on the bus each day. I remember one day she brought this box with her for show and tell. She shared the contents with me. When she opened the box inside surrounded by many layers of tissue paper was this round object covered with white feathers all in a swirl pattern. The story she told was that it came from the inside of her deceased grandparents feather bed pillow. According to her story when this pile of feathers formed this type of object it meant the person was in heaven. It was evidently a feather pillbox hat. One of the many things I never forgot about Helen.
Helen was a sweet, lively, get things done woman. She had a marvelous talent for decorating. She had a vision of what to do, went and bought rugs, furniture, pictures. and so much more. She would arrange things, if you liked it I would keep it, if not she would take it back. That didn't happen to often. She could rearrange furniture and the room would be bigger. I still have the rooms she did for me just like they were and I love the way they look. I also enjoyed being with her as she bought things and brought them home. I helped her hang pictures which was fun. We had fun together and laughed a lot.
She was a special friend and I am blessed she was a part of my life. One tidbit, she always left a pair of glasses at my house.
Love,

I called her my "pretty lady" because she was inside as well as her looks. She called me her ray of sunshine because I was always cheerful. We had so much fun on our lunch dates, shopping and redecorating my bedroom. She even helped me strip wallpaper off the master bathroom. She was helping at our 50th wedding anniversary party and she was at the hospital when I had major back surgery. She was with me when we carried my daughter to the hospital for an appendectomy. When we would return from one of our "excursions" my husband would say tell me about what you did because I would still be laughing. I loved her so much and will miss her forever. Peggie Davidson
Rest in peace, sweet classmate of 1966.
Thinking of you and praying for God to send you peace, at this sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Liliana.
What an honor to have known such a beautiful (inside and out) woman! Her marriage to Tom was always a testimony to the commitment of the vows they made. I now celebrate the promise of complete healing in Heaven and imagine the joy on her face. Go, sweet Helen, and be free, but how you will be missed.
