Pennies from Heaven

I found a penny today
Just laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny
This little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven.
that's what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels tossed them down.
Oh, how I loved that story!

That when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down,
sometimes just to cheer you up.
To make a smile out of your frown.

So don't pass by that penny
When you are feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven
That an Angel has tossed to you.

Winter weather can be beautiful, but it can also be demanding on the heart. Shoveling snow is more strenuous than many people realize, especially in cold temperatures, and it can increase the risk of heart-related emergencies.

This February, we encourage everyone to take heart health seriously: pace yourself, take breaks, and don’t hesitate to ask for help when snow needs clearing. Protecting your health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones.

Leave a ❤️ if you are or will be mindful of your heart health this month!

About Us

What began back in 1883 with D. D. Pafford operating a local hardware store with "undertaking services" turned into a full time funeral home when his son, Royal R. Pafford guided the business into the 20th century.

After Royal Pafford's early death in 1950, his daughter, Eva Louise Pafford, continued the family business. Being a woman in the business traditionally run by men, the now Eva Pafford Helms devoted her entire life and steered the family business into a community icon.

Mrs. Helms died in 1989, and Pafford Funeral Home continued with the fourth generation owner, her son, Robert Pafford Helms. With tradition as its foundation, the family business that began simply in 1883 as a hardware store is now a leader in the community and state within its profession.

As a family business that faces its third century, it continues to serve the citizens of Lexington and Henderson County in unparalleled service and professionalism and is the county's oldest family owned and operated business.
