Helvi Irene Roguska

My warmest regards go out to the Roguska family and friends in my absence. In this time of reflection, it is pretty easy for me to remember what Helvi was all about and what she left behind..........a lot of family and loving memories. Although she properly adorned many roles and faces throughout her life, the one of mother was always the most predominant to me as I knew her through her boy's. Helvi and Maury seemed to always keep the family "close knit" no matter which way the 5 boys...

Dear Maury and Family,
We want to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Helvi was a very special person and we truly enjoyed spending time with her when you were in Petoskey. Her kindness touched us all.

I have fond memories of the wonderful WLAV Raft Races and the best part was going to your mom's for some wonderful homemade food!!! What a cook she was. My mom still uses some of her recipes, they don't turn out as good as your mom's, but she tries. My heart goes out to you and your family and I hope the fond...

Dear Maury and Family,
Since Helvi's passing and Randy's subsequent phone call, I've had a flood of fond memories and reflections thereof, from the relatively short time I was blessed to be around and know her and your fine family many years ago, now. Most likely, like many of her son's friends, there was that special time in my life that Helvi was like a second Mom to me. That special time I refer to was also shared with your whole family, and I greatly appreciate that. I am...

Dear Maury and family,
So sorry for your loss - she was such a loving/caring person and will be missed by all who knew her. She touched so many lives.
Please know we are praying for you - we know she's in heaven.

Love Bill and Donna
