Susan and I send our sincere condolences to Helen’s family. Have fond memories of our dear friend and neighbor of 26 years.
My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. Mrs. Biggers was my 3rd grade teacher at Pisgah Elementary and I have wonderful memories of her. I passed by her subdivision last week in West Asheville and thought about her. She will always have a special place in my heart.
Bill
Sorry for your loss. Moms are special people.
I will be thinking of you over the days ahead.
Your Wilshire Park neighbor,

Bill, Gina and families,
Was saddened to learn of the passing of your mother. I remember fondly our association at Trinity…and when I was a student at Aycock. She was a stalwart member of the Sprinkle-Bagwell class and the church at
large.
You were fortunate to have her in your lives for so many years. However it is never easy to lose one’s parents no matter their age.
Please know that others care and share in your loss. Well one, thou good and faithful servant.
Gina and family,
I am very sorry for your loss of your Mother. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Sandi and Paul Ownbey
