Thinking of you at this difficult time. We know that you have many wonderful memories that will be with you always

I worked down the hall Fed. Bldg.in Compensation and made several contacts a day with Payroll. Helen was one of my daily contacts. She was always pleasant and had a great sense of humor. She always brightened my day if I had a problem.

I really enjoyed knowing her. She was a great lady.

I found out the hard way about my grandmother. I have kept all the five dollar bills she has sent me inside my birthday card. I didn’t even get to attend the funeral. How sad I am. I LOVED HER. i remember the times i would pretend to be like her. I’m 22 now, and her ruby red lipstick will always be my favorite memory. She always made me feel special…I would love staying the night in her aparment watching game shows. I love you Grandma Helen.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom

If Roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Mother’s arms

and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her,

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it every day,

but there’s an ache within my heart

that will never go away.

Thinking about you alot today mom, I think of you every day, but today it seems like every minute. I wish I could turn back time.

Helen, you are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. We miss you so much. What we would all do to spend one more Christmas with you.

I remember you always saying, “I got you something, but it’s not much”. But each year you were wrong. I hope you know, you gave the kids and me the greatest gift forty-four years ago come this January. You gave us more than presents or money can buy.

Your spirit and love will always be with us. Take care Helen. I know God is shining is face on you.

Love, Jeff

Happy Birthday Mom,

I wish you were alive today so that I could wish you a happy birthday in person. I’m glad this site is still here.I know you probably dont even know that I am writing to you, but if there is the tiniest miniscule chance you can see from above, then I will continue.

I love you and miss you terribly.

Happpy 83rd Birthday Mom

Mom,

Today is Easter, and also it marks two years since your passing. I truly do miss you, more than you will ever know. I have messed up my life, I have hurt people so close to me, but nothing will ever compare to the hurt that I caused you. I hope one day you will forgive me. I wish I could hug you one more time, and tell you that I do love you.

Happy Birthday Mom,

If Roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Mother’s arms

and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her I love her and miss her,

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek

and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it every day,

but there’s an ache within my heart

that will never go away.

Mom,

Happy 86th birthday, I wish you were here to enjoy your great grandson! He is such a happy little boy, he gives a ton of hugs and kisses. He and Renee are staying with me for a while and I just wish for a minute you were here to be with us.

I love you,

Tami

Merry Christmas Mom,

There are so many words but I dont have the energy.

I miss you.

I love you.

I will see you soon.

Love,

Tami

Mom,

Iwish I could ask your forgiveness but that is lost until we meet again. I wish I had pictures of when I was little I know there were pictures of you and I, but they are elsewhere, All I have lef are the happy memories like the time you suprised me on valentines day, your world series parties, I still love baseball, and its a bond that Josh and I share. I cant wait for the day that I can see again in the afterlife. I love you

I miss you Mom

I know I always seem to write here on holidays and special events, today I just wanted to write and say that I miss you so very much. Little things I miss the most, I noticed yesterday as I was eating dinner, that I looked at my hand and noticed that I now keep my finger out like you used to do. It made me smile :

There are no words we can say that can ease your pain at this time, but please know that we are with you in thought and prayer.

Dear Judi,

Wish we could be there to give you a big hug. So

sorry to hear about your mother. The last few

were difficult, but they are not memories that will

last. Take care.

Love, Rob and Mary

For the family: We were very sorry to hear about Helen’s death. The ladies from our church enjoyed visiting her at Richland Life Care. We share in your sorrow. Mrs. Paisley and the ladies of Riverview Baptist Church in Pasco.

Happy Birthday Mom,

I miss you and wish I could turn back time and told you how sorry I am for the way I neglected you.

You are always in my thoughts.

Tami

Mom,

I miss you. I am sitting here listening to Jingle bell Rock and remembering how that was one of your favorite Christmas tunes. If I close my eyes, I am back in Gardena, watching Judi paint the windows while you are cooking and singing.

Mom. Tomorrow it will be a year since you have been gone from this earth, I think of you every day, and I have so much I wish I could share with you. I have studied our ancestors and wish I could share with you our heritage. I know it would be something you would be proud of.

I wish the 4 years before your passing I would have been a better daughter to you. You deserved my love, and I wasnt around to let you know that I loved you, I was too ashamed of myself.

I know you are resting in peace now

Merry Christmas Mom, I miss you so much. This is a little late as I am currently in New Mexico. Renee gave birth to your great grandson, Chandler Joshua Bennett Biel on December 16. I wish you could see him. He is wonderful, I saw his birth, head full of dark brown hair. He has the Woods ears. Renee is doing fine, I just wish you were here to see him. I know though you are looking down upon him because he frequently looks up into sky and smiles :.

Mom,

Your birthday will soon be here, and I want to wish you a happy birthday, although it may seem that I have forgotten your birthday before, I never did. I was just being my selfish self as usual and never found the time to wish the glorious day you were born. I love you mom.

Happy Birthday Mom,

Today is your 85th birthday and I wish you were here on earth so that I could tell you that I love you, I know you can see your great grandson Chandler, he is pure joy. Is sing this to him so that he knows you are watching,

“The faith of knowing deep inside your heart, that heaven holds more than stars, that someone is watching over you”.

I miss you terribly and hope to one day have even a moment in heaven to hug you and tell you I love you.

Mom,

Hurt By Christina Aguilara

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were, but I walked away

If only I knew what I know today

Ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms

I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you’ve done

Forgive all your mistakes

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do

To hear your voice again

Sometimes I wanna call you

But I know you won’t be there

Ohh I’m sorry for blaming you

For everything I just couldn’t do

And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won’t admit

Sometimes I just wanna hide ’cause it’s you I miss

And it’s so hard to say goodbye

When it comes to this, oooh

Would you tell me I was wrong?

Would you help me understand?

Are you looking down upon me?

Are you proud of who I am?

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do

To have just one more chance

To look into your eyes

And see you looking back

Ohh I’m sorry for blaming you

For everything I just couldn’t do

And I’ve hurt myself, ohh

If I had just one more day

I would tell you how much that I’ve missed you

Since you’ve been away

Ooh, it’s dangerous

It’s so out of line

To try and turn back time

I’m sorry for blaming you

For everything I just couldn’t do

And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you

I guess my last entry disappeared, I love you mom

Dear Mom,

Happy Birthday to my mom, I love you so much. For your birthday I want to tell you how much I love you, Ive beem riding a long black train that had ruined everything I cared about. Mostly that train I have been riding was a me train, full of lies, deceit, and self serving only to me. I have jumped off that train, I know too late to mend things here on earth with you, but I have learned life on earth isnt about me, its learning how to love, forgive, and spread the word of Jesus to everyone, for the last several months, I have moving in that direction, I have learned that all my actions are a direct reflection to Jesus and our Father, and I am so embarrassed and disgraced by how I treated not only you, and Judi and Jeff, but more importantly our savior Jesus. I dont know if my spirit will ever go to heaven, but I hope it does so that I be with you once again, I love you

Mom, It’s been 4 years since you were taken away from here. I think of you every day. The last 4 years has been so hard, but nothing compared to the 4 years you endured before your passing. I have learned so much from you, and it has taken me my whole life to realize it. I am having to work long hours to make ends meet, and I get my strength from remembering how hard you worked. I cant even imagine working like you did and coming home to take care of me. I appreciate you even more every day. You were never a quitter, you perservered, and you raised two daughters. Although its too late to tell you in person, just knowing that I got a bit of your perserverance, makes me feel closer to you. I wish I had gotten some of your other qualities as well. I love you and would give anything to hug you just once.

Dear Judi & family, My deepest sympathy–it’s so hard to lose A Mother. I remember meeting your Mom when you took her and me to A Mother-Daughter Luncheon. Love & Prayers, Arly

My sincere sympathy to Judi, Chuck, and Kent Nelson. Judi, you were a loyal daughter. You gave Helen the best care any mother deserves. Kent, I hope my grandchildren hold me in the high regard and love me as you did your grandmother. Chuck, you are always there.

My fondest memory of Helen is the Thanksgiving dinner we shared at her daughter, Judi’s, house. She didn’t quite understand the place setting for Nikki.

Helen is at peace. I wish the same for the Nelson family

I remember our trips out to Richland. Especially the ones for Christmas. I remember your trips out here and to Las Vegas. I remember the smile on your face when you hit big on the slots. I remember first meeting you. I remember playing your organ trying to impress your daughter. I remember talking with you and you asking me questions that made me think.

You never had it easy, but you always made it look easy. I always had a lot of respect for you. I always admired you. I always loved you as Mom and Grandma Helen.

“When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.”

You did Helen. And we are now. You were loved by all and you will be missed. I look forward to seeing you again.

From the other Leo, Jeff
