Georgia Helen Fairley

Dearest Family, I'm only now learning of your beloved Mother's transition from this life, and I extend my deep condolences and love to each of you. I am sincerely sorry that she's absent from your lives, but my heart and soul sings and shouts a resounding "Hallelujah" chorus in knowing that she was and is a Daughter of the Most High... the Almighty God...a Child of the King. Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow for the Grace and Mercy that He has extended to us all through His Wonderful Son, Christ Jesus, and for Eternal Life in a Land where we'll never grow old...a Land where there is no sickness, no dying, no crying, no sorrow. There, we will "study war no more." Thanks to you, her children, for the kindness that you displayed towards my siblings and me during our high school years and beyond. My heart warms when I think of you all. May the Lord bless you richly. May He continue to comfort your hearts as only He can! We will see your Sweet Mother again in Paradise and I believe that it won't be long Children. Jesus is soon to come! Please know that I remember you, and that my heart is filled with love for you. "Live for the day, when you'll say, "Life Without End at Last." With Love, Melanie Boyd-Jones & Family🙏🏽♥️🕊🕊🕊♥️🙏🏽

We truly want to express out Deepest Condolences to the family, at this time. Our prayers and support goes out to you all! As the Scripture reads, in 1 Corinthians 15:26 : The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death! Evangelist Teresa Legette & Family

When grieving the loss of a matriarch, we often feel sad because their earthly form is gone. At some point, it may become too much to bear and we may have to shed some tears. But please be at peace knowing for those who knew her and weren't born of her - we felt as if we were. She loved us & accepted us as we were. Her infamous gift of comedic skill, will never be forgotten! This is why we have so many comedians in the family! Her no judgement, listening ear - no matter the situation- was endless. The many meals that new strangers/old friends had from her table will carryon through her children, etc. Be at peace knowing she wasn't perfect but taught us well through her teachings & example. Aprielle "Penny" Staton-McLean

Until we meet again on the other side , Love and adore you my first lady,your son James W. McLean.

My sincere condolences to the McLean and Fairley family. Seeing Mrs. Helen brought back many memories of the old neighborhood of Commerce and Vernon Street. I always loved coming to Mrs. Helen's house because there was never a dull moment. It was a big family and I would always try to blend in with her children. She always treated me so nice and I was always welcome to eat when her children ate. Back then everyone in the community was family. I had the opportunity of witnessing Mrs. Helen turn her life over to christ and her testimony alone would send chills down my spine. I'm happy to have known her. Rest In Peace Mrs. Helen, you've fought a good fight, now you can rest. May God give the family comfort during this time of your loss.
