It's been 4 years since you crossed that bridge, I make a point to play "Home Sweet Home" and Smoking in the Boy's Room" from Motley Crew on this day in memory of you and the fun we had growing up.

Mike Helm was a great man. He was a great listener when a friend needed him the most. He was generous just like his mother. He always gave good advice. He diffently made everyone that knew him smile and even laugh at his dry sense of humor. His stories that he told really caught a persons attention. I will deeply miss Mike as much as I still miss his sweet dog, "Bear".

Mike was a wonderful friend from the first day we moved to Sioux Falls three and a half years ago. He had a warm smile and infectious laugh and always had a story to tell. His generosity was unmatched and his loving and giving spirit made him loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered!
