Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always, Can't believe its 10 years already and i still miss your friendship. M@AGS

One of my favorite people

I will always miss Helenn. It is very sad to realize that I am the only one left of our dear group of suitemates and roommates from our first and second years at Stephens. I wil always be grateful for the few times we were able to visit in person after graduation. My best wishes to her two sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren.

I so enjoyed Helenn as a client and a friend. I was proud to photograph some of her work and have her so excited to see the results she liked and chose. I tried to anticipate what pic she would choose. Always, she liked at least 2 out of 5 I liked. A Great Artist that is missed. I still have greeting cards in a drawer she gave to me. Let the glory shine on you HR....

I just happened to find this posting as I was looking for Helenn's name on line. I will be in Santa Fe in early Jan. and wanted to look her up as she and I were roommates at Stephen's College way back when during our Freshman year there. I hated to read of her passing but did want to say how much I enjoyed knowing her and being her roomie. She helped me the first day at school by helping me get over a bad case of homesickness.
I always thought it was interesting that her family...

A great lady...when Helenn called for her hair appointment she always said "Helenn with 2 N's. We had great fun and laughter over the years I did her hair and some photography for her calendars.Your sunny disposition will be remembered..

My sincere condolences to Wes and your family. In reading about her, she seems like a remarkable and talented woman who touched many with her works. My prayers are with you and your loved ones.

My sincere condolences to Helenn's entire family.
She was talented, creative, and truly unique not only with her art, but with the positive impression she made through her work ALL OVER THE WORLD.
She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She became a stand-out at Stephens, and her career became even more outstanding as the years since then transpired.
I will miss her more than you will ever know.
