Helena ( Daughter of H.M.S. )- Trying to locate you after so many years sadly your mother's passing came up. My condolences. My wife passed last April and I believe she would want me to be happy. I'm sure your mom is saying the same for you. Your high school friend...

Helen was one of a kind. I loved our road trips and will always cherish the time I spent with her and Adele. It was a great privilege to shoot with her. She touched my life in so many ways. This is no ordinary loss. She was a legend and she lived!
With a heavy heart I send my condolences everyone who loved her.
She is greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Scheerbaum family. Helen was always kind to us and our young children when they wanted to meet the greatest female dart shooter in the world. My son still cherishes the autograph she gave him many years ago. We will all miss Helen terribly. A true loss to those who knew and loved her. Dave and Cheryl Weber and Family

Helen is a true legend in the game of darts. Her competitive spirit and class are something that will be remembered forever and truly missed in our game. Helen was one of the first people that I met when I started playing, and it was always a pleasure seeing her at a tournament. The thoughts and prayers of all of the members of the American Darts Organization go out to the Scheerbaum family.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

deepest sympathy at the passing of a true legend.

To all the Scheerbaums:
So sorry for your loss. Think of Carrie Underwoods song.."this was just a stop, a temporary home". Your mom has moved to her everlasting home. She is with her Father and all who have passed before us. You were blessed to have had such a wonderful mom who touched so many lives. May your laughs and memories get you through this difficult time.
With our deepest sympathy, we are here for you.
Brian, Michele and McVan family

When someone we know dies, it seems as if time stands still. A silence.. a quiet sadness... often can be felt, not just heard, a longing for one more day... one more touch..And we may not understand why God chose to have her leave this earth so soon, or why she had to leave before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, we will begin to remember not just that she died, but that she lived. And that her life game us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see her again someday, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean goodbye.

On behalf of myself and the members of WOPASL - our sincere condolences to Adele and the Scheerbaum family.
