I cannot express how deeply sorry I am to read of Helen's passing. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her. We shared many laughs and sorrows. Debbie and Judy, you had a wonderful mother and I hope your memories give you comfort.

My condolences to the family. The loss of a loved one is never easy. May our loving God continue to bless and strengthen you as you remember that it is possible to see her again. God's Word the Bible at John 5:28, 29 reassures us that there is going to be a resurrection. We can rely on this promise because we know that God can not lie. Usually at some point when family members and friends are gone, we find ourselves all alone to deal with our grief. But please be assured that you are not alone. The best Friend a bereaved person can have is our Creator, Jehovah God. We are encouraged at 1 Peter 5:7 to pour out our heart to him in prayer because " he cares for you". Moreover he promises that all who do so will have their thoughts and feelings soothed by "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding". (Philippians 4:6, 7) May all the many wonderful memories that Helen your loved one provided, comfort you during this most difficult time.

Finding out that Helen had passed has hit me harder than I ever thought possible. Your mom WAS my mom for the past 33 years. All the dinners I had at your house, all the time time your dad & mine (and Dick Rost) worked on our homes, all the coffee and cigarettes that your mom and mine shared...........all of these memories will NEVER be forgotten. I'm so glad that I remained in contact with her for all of these years. Judy & Debbie, know that she will always live on in my heart, as well as in yours. Love Always!
