I haven't seen or heard from Helen in years, but I do remember my Mom babysitting for her when we were little. She was always so sweet and I enjoyed having someone close to my age to play with. I have thought about her many times over the years and I regret not getting in touch with her. She was a beautiful person inside and out.
My heart goes out to Helen's family, but I know you are all blessed for having had
her in your lives all these years.

Helen was a great, caring and loving woman. Helen constantly thought about everyone else but herself. She was also a great team mate and it was a pleasure to work with her. I miss her spunky comments and I miss her giving me a hard time. I know she is in a good place and for that I am thankful. My thoughts are with her family. Erin VM
Helen was my childhood best friend. We were inseparable for a long while. She was the maid of honor at my wedding. We have many memories together then and just recently. We separated for a while but met back up recently to continue our friendship. You will be missed my friend. You were on my mind more than you knew. Prayers to you Jim, Sienna and all other family and friends..
Jim, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a special person who cared about you so much.

I'm very sorry to hear of Helen's sudden illness and passing - she was way too young. My deepest sympathy to her loved ones.
Its Hard to realize that she is gone at such a young age. She raised me and my brother like we were hers. I needed advice i could call her even if just to say hi. Regretfully I haven't taken many chances to stop over and say hi or to visit which i regret but i know where she is that she knew we loved her anyways. To a great woman that passed way before her time. Rest in peace and glad your at least not suffering anymore.

I remember one time when I was younger. I think I was about 13 or 14. Going to the store with my mom and Helen. I was in the backseat listening to Garth brooks on a walkman. Apparently I was singing to myself a little too loud because next thing I know I was getting yelled at by Helen to shut up. That memory always makes me laugh because the times I spent with her where always good. She didn't even kill me during the famous corn relish incident. Or the ones I used to get her boys all riald up before bed. I miss u helen
Helen was the most generous person I have ever known, especially with herself. She invested time and effort into all of her relationships, and everyone who knew her is better off for doing so. I met Helen while she was pregnant with Michael, although we did not become close until he was actually a toddler. She listened to my problems and empathized with me, but never gave unwanted advice. She helped me learn to believe in myself again, to make time for myself and my needs. Helen was so creative in parenting that she inspired me to try different things, too. I've never met anyone who enjoyed her kids as much as she did.
Helen loved to do "artsy-craftsy" things, and I got to witness many of them. What stands out most in my memory is the Piggy-quilt she made for her mom.
Once every week, my daughter and I would be invited over to Helen's for "family night", where she and I would gab and gab, the kids would play, and we would stay for supper and hours of fun. She thought the family scene would be good for my daughter and myself, since we were "just two" in number. How right she was!
Although we have not been close for many years, the time we did have together means so much to me, I don't have the words to express. I always knew that she was there, waiting if I needed a listener or an uplifting lecture. I miss her so much already, but because we believe in the same God, I know she will be one of the first people I see when I get to heaven.
