To the entire Donahue Family there are no words...Your family has suffered too many losses. My sincere condolences to all of you. I met Helen by our daughters going thru school together. ALWAYS a smile on her face. ALWAYS wanting to help people. Her smile lit up any room and brought sunshine to the darkest days. Helen never put herself first ALWAYS helping her family and working hard. Ironic is the last time I saw Helen she was having a yard sale and I bought a few items but a couple were angels. Now she has her wings and SURELY is watching over Gerry, her kids, & grandchild as their Guardian Angel ? God bless all of you and may Helen R.I.P. and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed thru the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. ,

Jerry and Family- On behalf of Revelation Machinery - we are so sorry to hear about the devastating news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for your family. Again our deepest condolences-? Shane Reynolds, Tanner Arnold and Brett Fox

Dear Jerry and family. Linda. Phila. I can't express how much sorry and shock I feel. Helen and you with family shared good times.

Helen you were a dear friend, even though we did not talk much. I wish I talked to you more recently, but I can’t look back. You did say Happy New Year to my post and I am happy that you did. I was hoping 2021 would be a better year, but it did not start off well at all. I am still in shock. Thoughts and prayers to all of your family!! Rest in Peace, my dear friend!!
