My husband Chris and I both worked with Helen for many years at PFPC. Such a kind and caring woman. Our fondest memory of Helen was when Chris would bring our son Justin into work at times. He always had so much fun with her, especially the treats she would give him. So very sorry for your loss.

Helen, you were more than a sister in law, you were my best friend. The video was beautiful, it made me cry but it showed how happy you were with your family. You always talked about your children and grandchildren and how proud you were of them. I will miss you so much but knowing you are out of pain and reunited with Jim makes things a little better. You were a strong and brave woman and fun to be around. I will always miss you!

On a personal note, I will dearly miss joking around with her. She was sometimes a little cranky, but that was one of the endearing things we liked to kid about. She always had a big heart and and I will truly miss our chats.
God Bless my friend ….

Paula Haedel
Helen, our “Director”. You will be missed. You always said what you were thinking. But what I treasure the most is your warm and generous heart. Even as you dealt with your own health issues, you were always at the door with a meal when your friends weren’t feeling well. And it was a full meal, including homemade dessert! And you covered everything–including cheese for the chicken parm–in case we didn’t have any. You are missed, my friend. But I am thankful you are at peace and pain free. Love you, girlfriend!
