Mrs Helen Crain Underwood of Perryville passed away yesterday the 29th of January, 2008. She was 93 years old and a long time member of the Harmon Pipes Gray family association. Helen served as treasurer of the association for several years. I first met her in 1984 on my family's first journey to Kentucky to find ancestors. She was very gracious and helpful and we corresponded for several years.
When I find the obit I will post it here.
I ordered flowers from Wilder's Flower basket in Perryville at 1-859-332-9063.
