I first met Helen walking to Angel School, early 1950. On this day she and Hazel were folding the Muskegon Chronical for delivery. Fast forward to 1959, when I am dating her brother Dave. I had no idea that she would become a dear friend thru out the years. We both loved Pastor Hagee. Years ago, she flew to Sac, Ca and helped me paint Elizabeths house. I know she is with the Lord . I spoke with her a few days, before she passed and told her she was always a better painter than I was. We both laughed, and she said, ''How come it took you so long to admit it?'' I love you, was her last comment to me. My, how she loved her girls and Dick. Helen, I love you always Pam Buikema

Dear Howe Family and Friends.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. Please accept my sincere condolences. I too have lost several loved ones in death, and the pain is fresh, even with the passage of much time. Thankfully, I have found relief in knowing that "The Most High God" is the “Hearer of Prayer”, and a source of tremendous comfort in times of grief and distress.(Psalms83:18,Psalms65:2) Please be assured , death will soon be “swallowed up forever” and we will have the opportunity to see our dead loved ones again.(Isaiah 25:8) My family and I wish you and yours peace.(Phillipians4:7)

We always said that Helen was our Angel. She helped look after mom (Mary Lou Fielstra)when we couldn't be there, stopped in to give Cousin Betty an encouraging word and became a very special friend to us. She is now amongst the other angels. We love her and all she added to our lives.

I met Helen when I was very alone as a foreign student at high school. She treated me with kind heart & yet clear instruction of how I should live in this country. She never saw the color of my skin or the shape of my eyes. She just saw me. After 30 years later, I had a privilege to spend some time with her. She still saw me as who I was. In my whole life, only a few has seen 'me'.

Helen was & still IS very dear friend to my heart. She was one of the kind; Very sPeCIaL HUmaN-bEiNg ??????

Dear Family,
What an awesome privilege I have had knowing Helen! She and I go back to her Mattison Oldsmobile days. That's when she convinced me I wanted to come in at 4:30 am to my salon every Saturday morning so she could tan and get her hair done and she' d be to work by 5:45 am. Notice I said "convinced". I loved every minute of it. She was one of the neatest ladies. I will miss her! Though she retired a while back I still got to see her for hair cuts. She holds a special place in my heart and gave me the gift of my friends Cindy, Chris and family. Love you all and will be praying for you as you grieve this great loss.
