Love and prayers to your family. In the Miller family, we knew Helen as a happy, fun and sweet lady. An extraordinary rememberance was the time Helen joined us at a Band Competition at Hershey Stadium. As we shivered in freezing temperatures, wrapped in blankets,on the bleachers, Helen helped us to cheer Penn Manor High school to a first place victory. Thank you Helen for this great memory. The Miller’s will always remember you fondly.
