Susie, Jimbo, David, and all the family of Helen Jean. We were sorry to hear of her passing. Mother (Aunt Nell) was not physically able to be there for the services. She stills has fond memories of you all as do the rest of us Johnston girls, Derenda, Annelle, and Sarah. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing God's blessings on each of you.

Helen was full of fun and laughter, She taught us all not to take life too seriously and laughter was good for the soul. She loved her family and friends and always had a good joke or story. Rest in peace my dear friend. I will always be reminded of you when I look up at the stars. Just like stars, I may not always be able to see them, but I always know that they are there. You will always be there and forever in my heart. Thanks for all of the great, fun and wonderful memories.

Helen Jean was pure joy to be around especially at Family Reunions in Lake Village, Ar. She was the life of the party and a wonderful story teller. We will always cherish the good times we spent with her. Prayers to her beautiful family.

I was one of those very lucky and blessed people to have known Helen, I spent several gatherings with her which always left me laughing and realizing how amazing and funny she was. I recently sat with some of her friends and they shared some of her adventures and stories which made me realize how much she loved life and the people she shared it with. She was a sweet, kind and amazing lady and she will be missed.
