This photo is older so this isn’t “the Helen” I knew.
I began working for her after her heart surgery so she’d lost some weight though not enough for her tastes!
She was a very COOL older lady-very classy,
very intelligent and even more, very wise.
I learned much from her, lessons you don’t talk about, you simply apply to life.
Quite simply, I loved her-she was my friend-and I am honored to have known her.
I will miss her SO much-we did not have enough time together, is my only complaint-
We’d made plans to travel to the coast of WA this summer-and I was really looking foward to that trip…
Helen, I love you and I miss you…I’m glad you’re in a better place but dang-it, we still had plans…
your friend,
yvette

I want to thank God for the priviledge of working with Helen for the many years we were at Carmichael. She was always pleasant, with a smile for everyone. Helen will be missed in the community.
We Will miss you dearest Helen our good and kind friend of many years. We know you are in no pain now with God!
Our fondest and lasting memories of you and the fun we had together will be with us always.
Love Bob & Jan
I will miss Helen so very much. We lived as neighbors for 22 years and when she moved to Washington, we kept a Birthday Card going for 23 years. Sending the same birthday card until one of us passed on. I just got her last card in February and was ready to send a response when her sister called to tell me Helen was no longer with us. I will meet her again someday and what a glorious day that will be. My sympathy goes out to her family. Love, Frances
When Helen came to visit she was always smiling
and happy. She really seemed to enjoy life.
She was a lovely and thoughtful lady.
We wish to extend our sympathy to the family.
