Helen was a WONDERFUL part of my husband's life, she was the other woman in his life who I approved of! She worked on Mondays at Lifebridge with my husband Dan Roach, and she will be so very missed. Every Monday Dan would come home and tell me some cute little story that always included Helen. His favorite saying to her was, "Helen, I sure am glad you got to see me today!" to which she would reply, "So am I!" She was a one of a kind!!We know she is in heaven with Jesus, but we selfishly are sad because we will miss her. What a great legacy of love and Christian example you have been Helen!

All our love and prayers to the family, Dan and Wendy Roach

Helen was a very special Christian lady, who left her mark on many people who knew her. We always admired her for her enthusiasm for life and helping others. She always had a smile for everyone even though her life was touched by a lot of stress. Her faith in God always carried her through, and touched all of our lives. She has a very special family who were blessed by her love and devotion. We will all miss Helen, but will try to live the kind of life she inspired all of us to follow.

To the family of Helen Gutermuth,

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I will truly miss Helen. She was my first boss at Stewarts in the early 70's and quickly became my "Mother Henn".She and Jimmy and my family have remained friends these 30 some years and I always stopped by to visit her when I was in town. She was one of the most gracious women I have had the pleasure to know and my family and I will miss her greatly.

Love and prayers,

The Ambrico's,Debbie,Bob,Lauren,Kaitlin and Colleen

To the family of Helen Gutermuth:

Please accept my sincerest sympathy in your loss. I worked at Stewart's at the end of Helen's career in the late 70's. She was one of the first individuals (at Stewart's)to offer assistance and nuture a young college kid starting his career. I remember her fondly. May God bring you strength in dealing with your loss.

Remember Me



I will always be with you in every thing you do because we had a special bond. I know I won't be forgotten even though in body I may be gone. Remember me in the springtime when everything begins to take on a new beginning and bloom. I have also done that and am excited about the eternal life I will resume. I will watch over you and guide you while I keep you safe from Harm's Way but promise me you will stop and smell the roses every now and then in your busy day.



Remember me when you see a beautiful garden and feel the tranquility the sound of a fountain brings. I will walk with you in your time of need and show you all the great things life can bring if you plant the seed.



Remember me when you give someone else a helping hand or smile when they really need one. My Lord has called me home because my job on earth is done. I have taught each of you the power of prayer and God's love so I expect you to pass that on with a handshake or hug.



When you feel like crying please laugh instead and think of a time we shared together because I will smile knowing you will remember me.





Helen - you will be missed so deeply but I will always remember you and our talks together. Every year when the roses bloom for the first time I will see you in each and every one of them and know that you are still with me. Thank you so much for being the best neighbor a person could be lucky enough to have and even more so a friend that is a once in a lifetime chance of meeting and knowing with much love.



Jim, Michelle, Bryan and Emily - your next door neighbors.

I met you all in 1997 in Primers Choir and knew right away you were a very special family. I am sorry about the passing of Helen, but she is in her mansion room with Our Lord now. She was an inspiration to all who met her in life's journey and has now earned her great reward that we all are promised. Thank you God for this beautiful Soul.

A friend is one who knows you as you are...Understands where you've been...Accepts who you've become and still gently invites you to Grow.
