Well, Helen, you’ve left me speechless, and that’s an accomplishment! I sound like I’m joking, but my heart is breaking. I’m speechless because I can’t figure out what to say about you and our friendship. You and Carol and I spent every Saturday night together for about 15 years. We laughed and cried as we shared our life stories. I learned a lot during those conversations. I will never forget you and our good times, my friend. I trust you and Carol are working on one of our tough crossword puzzles. Don’t you dare fill in the last square until I can join you!

I have known Helen for over 20 years. I am the “other Mother-in-law”. I have enjoyed her company at many grandchildren’s parties. God bless her & her family. I am sending a check to ASPCA in honor of Helen of her love of cats.

I am saddened to learn about Helen's passing. I know Helen from the Divorce Support group. It is because of her that I stayed in that group and kept coming back in surviving my divorce. I lost touch with Helen after she retired. I do remember her laugh and it sounds like the quilting group got to experience both her straight-shooting answers and laugh on their endevors with Helen.
I wish peace and healing to her family with Helen's passing.

She always had a smile, and a story about Yeti. We both had rescue cat's that we shared tales about.
I admired her steadfast devotion to everything and everybody. We will miss her.

I read Helen's obituary on a whim and am I ever glad I did. She was a person I wish I had known. What a life she had/created!

My sincere condolences to the Family and Friends of Helen. She was inspirational, kind and always willing to tackle any project no matter how big or small. Helen will be sorely missed by so many charity communities. She was always willing to pick me up and give me a ride to quilt guild meetings when I was unable to drive. I now cherish the short chats we had and will always admire and be inspired by her strength in the face of many physical obstacles.

My sincerest condolences to all of Helen’s children and siblings. I was deeply saddened to learn of Helen’s passing but know that she now rests in the arms of Jesus, without pain and suffering.
My friendship with Helen began in the Northern Lake County Quilters Guild. I loved her beautiful quilts and the fact that she loved purple.
In 2017 she joined our local chapter of Quilts of Valor, Quilts of Valor Sewing Circle. Helen completed 29 quilts since 2017. During the Covid-19 lockdown, she sewed 15 quilts using fabric she had at home. An amazing accomplishment!
My memories of Helen will always be in my heart: her smile, her laugh, her talent and devotion to quilting, her candor, her faith, and her friendship.
The photo was taken Dec. 2022 at our Quilts of Valor holiday luncheon.

Many thanks, Helen for our wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon. It was something we both wanted to do and I will forever remember you standing at the rim, with a grin just as big as the Canyon itself. I will miss my traveling buddy. Road trips will never be the same. Goodbye my dear friend.

Thank you Helen for adding to our quilting group. You were always the one I could count on for giving it to me straight. You always put others ahead of yourself. May you be an inspiration to all of us.
