Dear Janet, Always remember A Mothers love is forever, for it lives in your heart and your memories and is a part of all that you do. Love Bonnie (1964)

Helen was one of the nicest people I have ever known and she had a great sense of humor. The year I taught in New Underwood, Helen, Josie and I had such great times together. Those two ladies took this new and inexperienced teacher under their wings and made it a great year for me. Thank you, Helen.

I had the pleasure of meeting Helen when I was teaching in the New Underwood School System. She was friendly, witty, and always had a smile. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve.

Your Mom always had a smile. Is this how teachers do it?
"One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." -- Carl Jung

What a wonderfully written tribute for a wonderful woman. Hugs for all of you. Much love, The Lyle Family

Janet, Linda and families. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Reading the obituary brought back a flood of memories of the fun times we spent together in New Underwood. Your Mom was always a part of that fun. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.

We had alot of fun playing poker tournaments with DIck. We will sure miss his humor and bluffs! Especially when he tried to hold back a grin - you knew you better fold. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family, Pat. Dennes and Marlene Barrett
