Mr. Finch and the Finch Family, we did not find out about Mrs. Finch's passing until late. But know that you and the family are in our prayers. The Kornegays

So sorry for your loss! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You will be missed. You will always be in our hearts. RIH love you Polly, James, and family. Grateful that you were in our lives.....

Some of the fondest memories we have of Mrs. Finch was her beautiful personality as she greeted our family during Sunday service at Ebenezer. Her smile would draw you in and everyone knew she was a true Falcons fan. Mrs. Finch had a friendly rivalry with my Dad and every Sunday when they saw each other, she joked with him about the Falcons winnings. We were saddened to hear of your passing, but took comfort in knowing you are in a better place. Finch Family, you are in our thoughts and continued prayers. May the love and peace of GOD surround you and give you comfort all the days long. With Love, Kara Greene Kennebrew, Recharda Greene Graydon, and Mary & Richard Greene

Godfrey, we were so saddened to hear about the passing of your wife. Know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. Wayde and Deidra Broughton

I called Helen about a month ago to see how she was doing and her response remains on my cell phone. In the midst of the sorrow, Duane and I are nonetheless experiencing laughter and joy thinking about the funny things that Helen would do and say. We loved Helen and so appreciated her support and caring over many years. One of the best Thanksgiving dinners we every had was at Helen and Godfrey's home. We love you Godfrey and are here for you and the family. Rest in peace, Dear Sister Helen. Fleda and Duane Jackson

We share your sorrow. Helen was our babysitter, neighbor, and friend. From time to time she would have dinner for my family, when I picked our son up at the end of the day.She was always willing to help in any way that she could. We affectionately called her the Mayor of our Community because she always kept an eye out for anyone in the neighborhood that should not be there. In more ways than one, we will miss her presence. Mary Watson

To the Finch family, we in the Falcon Forest community will keep you all in our prayers during this difficult time. Helen was a very active member of this community and we will certainly miss her. Always willing to help in any way possible and would always make that punch-bowl cake. She was also very active with the Welcome All Park community, helping in the concession stands during football and baseball. Love you and please let us know if we help in any way. John Watson

To the Finch/Whithead Family. My mother and I have known Helen and her family forever through our Mt. Zion Baptist church family, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal". May you find comfort knowing that Helen's sweet spirit, kindness and thoughtfulness will live on in our hearts and through her family. She will be missed but never forgotten. Love, Mrs. Marie Sims & Marilyn

Helen and I were cousins, buddies, friends, sisters, and everything in between. We laughed at the same things, we talked about the same things, we could finish each other's sentences, and always at the end Helen would say "Charlotte, you're crazy." We shared so many good times together. Helen was so gracious to everyone she met. Many of my friends became Helen's friends after meeting her only one time. Helen traveled with my high school class to the Casinos even before I knew she was on board. She even joined us at the H.M. Turner Prayer Breakfast and sat at my table. (I didn't know she was coming). That was Helen! Always in our midst and always wearing a smile. She also kept me up on what was happening in our family. You see, Helen kept up with so many people that I wondered how she had time to do it and cook those delicious meals that were always in her kitchen. Young and Old family and friends LOVED Helen, Mrs. Finch, Nana. She was indeed a rare and special jewel. Rest now, my friend, my cousin, my buddy. As much as we all loved you I rejoice today that you are resting in the arms of Jesus. Farewell - Love - See you in the great getting up morning.

You were a careful and kind driver for our children, Mrs. Finch. God be with you. -Horace Copridge, parent at Love T. Nolan Elementary

I was so very sorry to hear of the passing of Helen Finch. You have my deepest sympathy. Weeping may endure for a night but God's great not comes in the morning. Deborah Walker-Brown, Bus Driver's Club

Godfrey and family, I am deeply saddened over Helen's passing and I offer my sincere condolences. She has left an indelible mark on earth in the way that she cared for and loved her family and many friends. I am so grateful for the fun times we shared, the conversations we had, and the lessons I learned from her. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I will always remember Helen's gentle and caring spirit. She was a part of the Ebenezer Women at the Well Bible Study. Although her presence was quite, she spoke volumes without saying a word. We will miss Helen. Our prayers of comfort and peace are extended to the Finch Family. Reverend Lisa Rhodes

Truly, Michelle Olympiadis

Godfrey and family, Lily and I are so sad to hear of Helen's passing. She had so much love and life in her. We cherish the times we spent together in Marruage Enrichment Group at Ebenezer Baptist Church. She always greeted us with the heartiest smile and cooked the best meals. We love you and we pray for your comfort and peace in the days to come.

Drs. George and Lily McNair/Roberts Tuskegee, Alabama

With deep sympathy, we share your sorrow. May you find comfort knowing your loved one is resting safely in Jehovah God limitless memory. John 5:28, 29 Jean Anderson

So sorry for your loss. Please be assured that God longs to restore life to those lost in death by means of a resurrection. Because of this promise from him, it is possible to see our loved ones again! May his promise bring you comfort. (Job 14: 14 and 15)
