I met Helen 41 years ago, when I first met her son, Richard. Helen was such a giving and loving person. It is hard to think of a world without Helen. I so regret not visiting her more often, she will certainly be missed by the thousands of people whose life she touched, both bowlers and non-bowlers (like me),

To Bob,
May your happy memories with your mom be your prize possession. She was a wonderful person as well as a good mother. I'm so proud to have known her through you. Always cherish her memory and know that she will always be watching over you. Her last words to me was how much she loved you. What a wonderful thing to hear from mother to son. Thank you for being there for her when she needed you the most and you giving her such wonderful care. May she Rest in Peace with your father and brother.

To Helen's Family,
Like so many other's, Helen took me under her wing back in the 1970's and made me a better bowler. Even though I was 40 years younger than Helen I always had fun bowling on her tournament teams and traveling to other cities to bowl with her..So many Memories, I remember a fun dinner at a Chinese Restaurant in Cedar Rapids Iowa back in 1989, or the Fun times we had at The Rosy Duval Tournaments at Danville Bowl..or Her dedication to The BVL and Bowling in general..
She will be missed, but not forgotten..
I Loved her..
Now she is with Rosy and Richard
May they all Rest In Peace
