To the Family of Helen Marie,
We were sad to learn of the death of Helen Marie. Janet remembers her the most - going way back to the days of the old Soderville Baseball games.
We just loved it when she came all the way out to Soderville to visit with relatives. She often entertained us with her singing and playing. She was a very talented, warm, friendly and generous person.
Through the later years we came to know and love Charlie, also. We were royally entertained in your FL home and will always remember that, too.
Helen Marie will be missed but will forever be in our hearts.
Sincerely, Janet and Bill Nelson

Dear Charlie, Randy, Brian and families,
I am writing this at noon on Saturday just as you are all attending Helen Marie's Memorial Service at home. We wish we could have been there but Donald is just not well enough to go up North in the winter.
What can we say? We'll miss her of course. She was a big part of our life whether here in the winter or up in Mn in the summer.
She was a great lady and there will never be another just like her. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
God Bless
Don and Lorraine

Charlie, Randy & Brian
Our sincere sorrow and regrets on the loss of your wife and Mom...as "old Heightsers"-- there were LOTS of tie-ins...
Iseem to remember Her telling us once that she had a "church' connection with Marg's oldest brother , Allen. Communion or Conformation or some such thing. She mentoned it at one of the Heights "old-timers"get-to-gethers. She was a very warm,nice lady. Hope all is well with you in spite of this loss. Miss you all!
Hopefully we will see you back home this summer.( we're in Az.)
Willie
Please forgive my lenghty, informal message---but when I start...I feel like I'm talking to you.

We were so sorry to hear of Helen Marie's passing and want to extend our deepest sympathy. We have many fond memories of Helen Marie and are so glad that we met her and Charlie through our MN/FL. group. One special time when I needed a piano player for a Republican fund raiser style show, Helen Marie came to my rescue. I couldn't thank her enough. She will be missed by many. Our Deepest Sympathy to the family.
