My deepest sympathy to Helen's Family. Helen was a Grand Lady that was as comfortable in her hospital uniform, glittering dress, or in the marshes crabbing. Her stories of car racing will forever with me. Though I have lost touch with the Murrell Family the last few years, I will always remember Helen as that little bit of a woman that was always smiling.

Helen was my mother-in-law for 17 years and in those years she was a great role model for me. I was very privileged and honored to have her in my life for that time. She adored her grandchildren and especially her great grandchildren. She will be truly missed.
