Dear Leo, Bill and Jerry, Extending sincere condolences at Helen's passing. May fond memories you cherish and hold dear sustain you now and as time passes. May she rest in peace forever. With Deepest Sympathy, Eric & Judy Neubecker

Great memories for my family with Helen and the rest of the Byrne family. While I don´t fully remember, I´ve been told that I lived with them for two weeks when I was very young while my mother, Arlene, had pneumonia and Helen had so much fun having a girl! Sending love to you Leo, Bill and Jerry from all the LeClairs

Helen was my co-worker and a wonderful friend. There was not a more thoughtful, caring, and saintly friend. Her kindness was endless and I feel so blessed to have had her in my life. Rest in peace dear one, and May your example continue to be a presence in our lives.

A more compassionate friend and supporter than Helen would be very hard to find. Her kindness and concern were her constants. Many of us are blessed to have known her concern and care. May she rest in the peace of the Lord.

My sympathies to Helen's family. She worked for years with my mom, Wilma Courson, at St. Mary's. She'd sometimes come home from work with jokes and stories, and mentioned Helen often. Mom passed away January 28 last year.

Helen was a dear friend and fellow nurse. I truly admired Helen and her quick wit. Condolences to Helen´s family. Wes & Deb Scholten

Helen cared for our younger son, Jeremy, from the time he was two months old until he was school age. Jeremy has always said Helen was his second mother. Her kindness and grace knew no bounds. Helen opened her heart to us and made us a part of her family. We will carry you always in our prayers and in our love, dear Helen. Love, Gail, Jerry, Jeremy Battaglia

Years ago `when there were wolves in Wales´ and I was a young, no nothing priest assigned to St. Jude Parish in Grand Rapids I had the blessed pleasure to meet Helen. It was a joy to be in her presence and experience her kindness, gentleness, goodness and encouragement. She made a wonderful impression on me and I have held dearly the memories of her inviting smile. Thanks for the `all of it´, Helen. May the wind be on your back and the sun on your face to warm you. May all those gone...
