So sorry to see you go, but I'll always have such fond memories of times we've spent together. Family time with everyone was something I looked forward to, the good cooking and music and sing-a-longs. And, so now you'll be in the company of your brothers and sisters that you'll share many more good times. I'll miss that special smile , your sweet quiet ways of always making us all feel good. God be with you , be sweet.

My deepest sympathy to the Sodl's and their extended families. Many years ago Helen held a special place in my Mom's heart and she and my Dad (Bernie and Mary Gabryluk) spent many happy nights polka dancing with George and Helen at the Edelweiss Haus. I'm sure that their reunion is a happy one and that the polkas are playing and
the beer is flowing.

Sandy and Family,
Just read of your Mom's death. Your Mom was a special lady...we would sit at the A&R meetings and whisper silly stuff while Frances Mai would be running the meeting. Of course, I would get the evil eye and your Mom would just sit there and smile!!
Don't cry because she died, be happy that your Mom lived such a long life and that you were such an important part of that life.
Sending prayers to you and your family.
May Helen rest in peace.

I remember Helen very fondly from the years we used to stop by to visit in Northampton. She was a lovely lady who was always kind and loving towards me. So very thankful her life was long and it's obvious how very much she was loved! Sending my heartfelt sympathy to everyone in the family. May God grant you peace as you walk the journey without your beloved mother. Hugs and love to all...
