Helen took time to remember all of us, now we take time to honor her and the life she lived. May God bless and comfort your families. Gale & Tricia Heinzen
A favorite of mine. "Miss me alittle but not too long...remember the love we once shared" Thinking of my cousins in their time of sorrow. Sonja
Helen was one of the most kind people I have encountered. Her younger kids were my role models as a boy and her life and kindness surely left a mark on me and all those she encountered. Praying for the entire family for comfort and peace.
Helen was a wonderful neighbor and friend, Brian & Adam always called her Aunt Helen because they considered her part of the family when she lived next door. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her children & grandchildren God Bless, Joe, Janet, Brian & Adam Waldvogel
