Helen and I were roommates one year at BJU. Thats where our friendship began. Helen was the fastest walker on campus that I knew! We both received our degree in Elementary Ed. Helen was precise and exact in all she did. Wonderful and fun memories of those days and sharing Christmas cards many years thereafter! She was a unique personality and I know her family will cherish their memories.

I am incredibly saddened to hear of Helens passing. She was a practical, loyal, warm, wise, and incredibly giving friend. Helen was the kind of person who knew a little bit of everything, especially the unconventional, which struck me as unusual for a very conventional woman. She had the courage to live life on her terms; she had the courage her convictions. I always admired her for that.
Her calm and thoughtful demeanor was one of the attributes which made her such a lovely...

I met Helen through Oak Park Christian Home Educators (OPCHE) as a fellow homeschooling mom. I so appreciated her quick wit, her intelligence, and her faith in Jesus Christ. Helen was such fun to be with because she had a great sense of humor and was so filled with useful knowledge which she was happy to share. Helen and I had several things in common: our faith in Christ; the choice to home educate our offspring; a love of organization; and a familiarity and use of good grammar. The...

Helen, I only remember small things from when I was little but you and the family have always been in my thoughts. I always heard you walked with the Lord and gave your all. I hope this is comforting to the family to know you are in heaven with your little brother, your father and our savior Jesus. Praying for comfort for your whole family. God bless.

My very dear friend with whom I share a love of the Lord and the joys (and tribulations) of homeschooling.
Yes, Helen, that was a sentence fragment. I know. You'd have circled it in red and asked for a re-write. But you know I was never the Grammarian you were. You used to say that the difference between a true Grammarian and a normal person was not that the Grammarian never made a mistake, but that he would GRIEVE over his mistakes.
Helen, I'm grieving over not having...
