To the family of Helen Eakin, my deepest sympathy and condolances. I have a picture of Helen here by me as I write this and I know that she was a lovely woman. I am a friend of Linda and Bill and have come to know them quite well. I want you to know that Helen is watching over you all right this minute and is smiling and very happy. She is with
other loved ones now and is patiently awaiting for us to come be with her when our time is done.
All my love and hugs to the Eakin Family.

I remember Helen from my young days in Wanakah. A vibrant, fun person to be around. We shared many cooking tips that brides need to know. Helen and Herm were wonderful Wayside people. June and Bill Pearl
