Not sure what to say?

Helen - I think of you so often. You were such an inspiration, community advocate, teacher, leader & good fiend. I am blessed to have had you in my life. You may be gone but not forgotten. You touched so many, contributed so much & continue to be missed. Love - Joyce Bailey

God bless you, Aunt Helen. I am sure you and Uncle Steve and my parents are getting up to some kind of shenanigans in Heaven. Enjoy it!

One of my mother's childhood friends and a wonderful friend to our family, we all miss our "Aunt Helen" and "Uncle Steve."

Peri: I was sad when I read of your mother's passing. She was a gracious lady and an excellent administrator. I remember one conversation where she encouraged me to encourage you in Geometry. You were so nice and sweet as a student, and it was easy to see where you got that from -- your Mom.

I am so sorry for your loss. May your mom rest in peace. I spent years training your mom and dad in their athletics. We had so many conversations over the years....I am deeply saddened by this news.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother and spouse- may her memory be eternal.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Hansen. I met her while working at LBSUSD in Classified Personnel. She loved her children and family dearly. We had great conversations. She was a great leader. Rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. Our paths fortunately crossed many times as fellow educators in the LBUSD. She was an impressive leader and a most wonderful and gracious lady. My condolences to her family.

We are so saddened by the loss of our beautiful koumbara whom we loved and admired. We shall cherish the memories of many trips taken with Helen and Steve. Those were hilarious times and they were such great sports! We are feeling the void and send our love to Bill and Peri.
