    This beautiful lady was such a joy to be around. I enjoyed being with her in the Community Bible Study and loved her sharing her knowledge of the Bible with us. She was always smiling and positive. She will truly be missed.

    I only just learned of the death of dear Helen Snead when reading the "Blackstone Courier Record" obituaries. Had I known, I would have attended the funeral to show my respects to a lovely woman. She was always kind and caring. At first I knew very few people in Kenbridge. She always welcomed my sons and myself to church and helped us feel at home. A more beautiful individual I have never met!
