Jane Kiser wrote a sympathy message

“To all the Williams family- Please accept my sympathy for the loss of Helen, your dear mother and family elder. I have so many memories of her that go way, way back to when I was a child and our two families were friends and active members of the Congregational Church. She was a lovely lady and kind, warm person! You were blessed to have her with you for so long.”
