Helene R. Abdo

Hello Abdo Family, I love when this pops up online . I miss Helene ....11 years already. We just lost another friend....Jan Larson last month. Now both Norma Holmes and Jan are with Helene .Do you think they are waiting for me so we can play bridge again !

Can't believe what a blessing your Mom was to me and my family when we met with Dan and Rae and separately at her place in Tucson back when we were touring in our motor home with and without Mabel Frances Jacob. Seeing her reminded me so much of the weeks and later months I spent trying to graduate from U of M Pharmacy - my local college, last year finally accepted the classes I took while I lived in Minneapolis and allowed my advanced degree year+ to be verified. When I think about her kindness, advise and wisdom I am often happy she did not suffer the pain of her broken hip for too terribly long. I love the spelling of her first name and my mom did too! You may remember my mom was Adele Helen(e) Jacob Sirgany Mitchell but rarely used the (e). Much love to your family - nearly 10 years that she has been free from her body.

Dear Abdo Family,
7 years already that we lost Helene.
Very strange coincidence today. We are at the cabin and my husband took out a styrofoam cup and it said Helene . Now I just opened up my iPad and legacy sent me her obit. I think she is saying hello to me.
I think of her often and miss her very much.
Love, Judy

Dear Abdo Family-So sorry to hear of the death of Helen, a great friend of the Martin family for many years. I missed the notice at the time and just read about it in an Annunciation Newsletter. I generally read the obituaries and am surprised I missed it. My Dad is still alive but generally is unaware of things outside his small world. So, Bob, Ken, Dick, Larry and the others I don't know the names of, Condolences for your great loss from the Martin Family.

Dear Sweet Auntie Helene; You have blessed all of us with your love and laughter throughout the years; you will be missed.

Dear Larry (and siblings) I did not know your mom well but I do remember her kind face and sweet voice. I remember her as a woman whom my mom (Paddy Joseph) and aunt Dorothy held in high esteem. They always spoke of her in the kindest of words. My condolences to you.

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I so wanted to be there for you, but our Mother has had some serious health issues, and we were moving her out of the hospital. Cecelia (Carr) Kirihara, and all the "Carr girls" Annunciation and Regina

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Janice, So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

She will be missed by all who knew get. A wonderful soul. She's in heaven with all her loved ones for some much needed fun. Love Tina

Aunt Helen was loving to everyone; she was very active even in her later years; she traveled back and forth between MN and Tucson, AZ where much of her family lived. My mom is the same age she was and they spoke often, she was generous to my mom. She had a large family, my great cousins. I will always remember the summer I spent with her, Uncle John and all of them in their big home in MN when I was about 12, my first time away from home. Hers was a life well-lived. I will see you on the other side Auntie, love always.

Bob,

Knowing you and having heard you talk about your mom, although she will be missed by you, I'm sure that you and your family have many wonderful memories of her that will help ease the loss.

My sympathy and condolences to you all. Am out of town for the funeral, but I will say Mass for Helene at my earliest opportunity.

Abdo Family:
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Larry I am so sorry to read about your mothers passing. I lost my mother 3years ago and while you know it's coming it always hard to cope with the loss. You have our sympathy and prayers as you go through this change in the Abdo family.
