Paul and Helen’s mother and the rest of the family are having a hard time but staying as strong as they can for Francis Pop’s sake. The sweet little boy seems to be handling things okay so far.
Everyone is sad. It’s just not right. She was a brilliant artist with a great heart and she got more out of every minute of her life than anyone I’ve ever known.
I can’t believe how many people around the world loved Helen.
There will be a visitation at the Dunbar Funeral Home at 3926 Devine Street, Columbia SC 29205 on Tuesday night at 7-9 pm. It will include a place to post up pictures, thoughts, photos, things Helen has made, or whatever you feel will help us remember her.
The funeral itself will be at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at 1715 Bull St, Columbia SC 29201 on 2 pm on Wednesday.
There may be another event earlier in the day on Wednesday.
Will and Janet are friends of the family who are helping find everyone places to stay. Their number is (803) 779-9903.
