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

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.

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
