Helen Martha Pirkkala

All of us were saddened when the news of Aunt Helen's recent passing reached us. Your Mother was such a special person. Though geographical boundaries did not allow us to spend as much time with her and Onni as we would have preferred, she always welcomed us with open arms and wanted to hear everything going on in our lives. All of us have very fond and cherished memories, both childhood and adult, of those special times when we were able to get together. No matter where the visit, East...

I am so saddened to hear of "Mom's" passing. She was such a wonderful and gracious lady, and I will remember her fondly forever ~ so many great memories ... I will especially miss the visits that Dianne and I always had with her at AHS reunion times. Much love to everyone ~ my heart is with you all.

I remember Diana and her Mom well. I hope they'll soon be together again. My best wishes to the family in this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. My thought and prayers are with you at this sad time. May she rest in peace. Hans van Driel(Everett WA)

Dear Janice, Long time between visits. I am now living in Mesa, AZ and my cousin Maurine (Maunee) is now in Prescott, AZ. Maunee saw your Mother's obituary in the online Daily Breeze and forwarded it to me this morning (9/29/10).
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. My Mom passed away ten years ago in May. We will miss them always, but our memories are ours to hold close.
So sorry to have missed you at the 40th reunion, but saw your photo on Sam's website.
I am good -...
