Todd Curtis Helgren

Dearest Helgrens,
Jeri once told me, probably as one of my precious children was having a temper tantrum, that when children are the least lovable they need the most loving. Not an easy thing! I am so very grateful to all of you- Dana, Keegan, Maddie, Peter, Deb, Jeni, Mindy,
Holly and your supportive families- for all you did for Todd. As difficult as it is to live so far away at these times, it also gives us the luxury of having wonderful and perfect memories. Todd was a...

Dear Dana, Maddie and Keegan,
We have been thinking of you this past week. Wishing we could do something to ease your grief. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Heather, Dale, Allison and Sophia Elkins

Dear Helgren Family, Your father was a wonderful friend and co-worker and I know how much he loves his children. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Seeny Owens

Dear Helgens,
Our hearts are sad today because we've lost a family member too soon. Aimee is right to quote Gram at a time like this... this is one BIG and loving family who hurts together too. We send prayers to you all from St. Louis.
Blessings,
Karri, KJ, Leenie and Tripp Johns

Dear Helgren Family-
We send you our love and wish we could be there to give you hugs. As Grams has always said, "when one hurts, we all hurt", there is no truer time for those words than right now. We are all deeply saddened. Todd had a passion for gardening, when I see a beautiful garden I will think of him and his infectious smile!
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
All of our love-
Aimee, David, Josef and Sarah

Uncle Todd-

You were always the young, cool, hip Uncle that was so much fun to be around. You will be greatly missed by all.

Maddie and Keegan -

Always remember the great times that you got to spend with your Dad. His heart was always in the right place.

Love,

Clint, Cassie, and Jules

Todd, our cherished friend and neighbor. How we are going to miss your smile and your BIG hugs. We remember when we had our street parties, you and Dana were always so willing to crank up the volume on your stereo to make things fun. We were always so envious of how much you knew about gardening and how beautiful your yard was -- always blooming with beautiful flowers. Thanks for showing me how to us the bus; you were a pro! The Whipple family will always love you and will miss you --...

Todd, my dear cousin. How I wish I could have seen you more often. I do feel truly blessed that I had the opportunity to talk to you over the past couple of months and share text messages. I always loved you and have so many fond memories of our childhood. The 5 Rakow kids and the 5 Helgrens. Our trips to Minnesota growing up, trips to Grandma and Grandpa in the Woods and the big 90th birthday party for Grandma where we were all together. I know that you had many struggles and just wish I...
