It makes my heart full to know that Helen and Fred are dancing in the moonlight, walking through all the cities on their bucket list and loving each other until the end of time. Their love story was the real deal and a true inspiration for o all of us. Love you both so much

It was the honor of my life to call you a friend

There are truly no words for how much I love, respect, admire, and look up to Helen. She was one of the most intelligent, dedicated, personable, lovable humans I´ve ever been blessed to know. She was fiercely private, which is why I missed her funeral. I loved her more than I love, hot french fries and a perfect cup of coffee. I love that she had a passion for traveling, and she fiercely loved Fred. She will always always always have such a special place in my heart. I absolutely love you, Helen. I know that you and Fred are drinking champagne as we speak.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Helen´s passing. I had the privilege of working with both Helen and Fred (and Titus) during our time at Roetzel, and even after their retirement. I remember visiting their home to help set up equipment-they were always so kind, warm, and genuinely appreciative. Helen will be truly missed. I hope you hold your memories close to comfort you during this difficult time.
