Dear Rene, Anne, Alice, Heidi & families, We are saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Helen, your wife, mother & grandmother. We remember how vibrant & happy she was at our 50th high school reunion 2 years ago. I am so lucky & blessed to have spent time with her that weekend. She has always been a very good listener who was thoughtful, kind & a good friend to many. She shared her faith of her Lord with ease. She will be missed by many. May God be very near to you, surround you with His love & give you comfort and peace. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. John & Fern Zurawell

Gail and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family Rene. I know how hard it is for you at this time but we want you to know that Helen will always remain in our hearts as a very loving and jovial gal who brought so much love to everyone she met. She was always so positive and encouraging and we learned a lot from her.
