Louise, Gerald, Florence & Families,
Our condolences on the passing of Great Aunt Helen. Aunt Elaine Mills and I were just discussing the Schaffer side of the family this past weekend, and I was hoping to meet Aunt Helen this summer. Claude Schaffer was my grandfather.
Best wishes to your famlies and may the many memories keep you comfort.

My husband and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of your beloved Helen. We wanted to share with you comfort from God’s Word found in John 5:28,29. Here we are given the wonderful hope of the resurrection of our dear loved ones. The God of comfort also reassures us that he is near to those broken at heart and to those crushed in spirit he saves. (Psalm 34:18) May you draw comfort also in the many loving memories you all made and shared together, cherish them in your hearts always, and her memory will live on in each and every one of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, during this very difficult time.
