Read MoreI worked with Helen at PCC and quickly learned that the lady in heels and Chanel jackets who looked so prim was anything but. I enjoyed her wit and frienship for many years. She is the only person I know to take a hotair balloon ride anywhere and she did it in Africa.
I am happy to have known her.

Dear Jerry, Nancy and Heather;
For a number of years I dubbed Helen my adopted mother. We met at PCC, and I loved her sensitivity, humor and values. Having had a number of physical issues myself, I didn't see her much in the last couple of years,but John stopped off with cards and goodies to let her know we were thinking of her. When she could no longer speak on the phone, we knew it was time to prepare for her passing.

Dear Nancy, Jerry, and Heather,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was such a lovely, wonderful, smiling woman, and she was a big part of our childhood, especially Barbara's.

Jerry,Nancy,Heather:
I was saddened to learn of your mom's death. I so enjoyed knowing and working with her at PCC and after we had both retired. She was to me, a true lady, in the best possible meaning of the word "lady."
My best to all of you.

I became friends with Ms. Nahstoll during my employment with CFB, Inc. in the 1970's and kept in touch with her through her years at PCC where I visited her. I last spoke with her on the telephone a few years ago.
This world is a better place because of her. I found her to be learned, intelligent, engaging, caring and a positive influnce in eveyone's lives whom she touched.
Somewhat like the closing of Mr. Berg's store downtown Portland, her passing marks the end of an era. I can...
