Not sure what to say?

Norm, and Wayne
I was honored to get to know Helen and have our little short talks in the driveway with Sammie over the two years I was in the family house.
Rest Well Helen, what a gem you were.

Dear Norm, Wayne,Alison and family,
Helen and Norm gave my husband Tim and I dance lessons for our wedding 25 years ago, and again for my son and I for another wedding a few years ago as well. We were inspired by her enthusiasm and love for all she met. She always had a big smile and greeting for everyone. We always thought of her whenever we heard the song "Cocomo". She was a smart business women with a big caring heart. I feel blessed to have known her. We were so sorry to be out of...

I'm delighted to have known Helen and will fondly remember her toes tappin' to the music last Summer at 40th & Hancock. She was always very supportive and appreciative of all us musicians playing the old fashioned tunes. May her memory live on in all our hearts.

Helen was such an engaging and energetic person, and so friendly. I'll never forget the first time I met her, when I helped her and that cute little dog of hers, chase down a delivery person near her dance studio.I was truly amazed at how fast this little old woman could move.

Helen has been such an important pillar of the business community in the Hollywood District. For my part, she will be missed and fondly remembered for a long time to come.

I met Helen and her husband through the Hollywood Boosters. She was a vivacious woman who made you feel special. She was always looking for dancers and easily found us.

I first met Helen at a Hollywood Boosters Christmas party at the Elks Lodge (now Trader Joe's). There was dancing....much dancing and Helen and Norm were magical. First impressions are lasting impressions. Helen has always been and will always be "magical" to me. Norm, Wayne, Allison, Annsley, Kaitlyn, my heart aches for your loss but you are rich with memories of such a fine lady.

Helen you will be missed. You are and were an inspiration and a classy, warm, engerized woman of many dimensions who will be missed in our community and among friends. Thank you for your love of dancing, sharing with others, and support. My warmest wishes to your family who have so many lovely memories. Thank you Helen.

I'll always remember Helen's unwaivering support of local businesses in the Hollywood district and her civic interest in the good of the entire city. She will be greatly missed.
