Helen was always such a fun, caring person to be near.... we knew her thru Janette whenever she would join our local Good Sam chapter for campouts. She always had a smile and giggle to share! We so enjoyed her, and shall miss her, too.

My thoughts and prayers are with Robert and the family at this time. I read this, had to reread it, and still cannot believe my eyes. My love goes out to the family as I got to barely know Helen a few times that I visited them to help them with computer troubles. She was so sweet and lovely, just as Robert is always kind and loving. May God grant her soul eternal peace and comfort in His loving arms.

Robert and Family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Helen was always a ray of sunshine when we visited Oregon. We so much enjoyed getting to know her when Helen joined us for a weekend at Crater Lake. And she was such a wonderful hostess--treating us to a fantastic meal at the house during the Christmas holidays. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
