On behalf of my Mom, Rita (Reikowski) Dahler, I would like to send you her deepest condolences. She was very sad to read of Helen's passing when I visited her in the nursing home on Easter Sunday. As I was growing up, she always talked of the "3 Muskateers" meaning her, Carolyn Addessi and Helen. All 3 girls were friends for many, many years. Please know that she is very upset about Helen. Our prayers for all your family.

Dear Paul, Martha Jean and family, I am so sorry for your loss and so happy to know where she is. What a wonderful Easter she must be having! Michal's and my nickname for here was Bo...have no idea why we started calling her that, but it was just a term of endearment for a lady we loved.
Blessings in this time of loss,
Linda (Brown) Gray

Helen was a friend & we would share our love of The Lord. When I was able to visit her after the lost of her eye sight, she had me read some verses, then talk about them. I have really been missing her. She shared so much with me. Thank You Helen! I know where to find you.

One of the most precious people in my life, Helen Gordon, is walking with Jesus today! Well done Helen, to have lived to have had such an impact on so many lives. Heaven is much richer and I look forward to seeing you again one day, dear one. She taught me so much about teaching children, loving God, and living life. I loved that ya always knew where you stood with her, and that you knew she truly loved her Lord. I was truly blessed by her life and her example. Paul and Martha - I have sweet memories of the years we were growing up and the fun times our families shared. My heart goes out to you both today, as well as to Rosemond, John, Jacob and Ben. Love to you. My prayer is that God will wrap His arms of love around you and comfort you and fill you with joy that Heaven's reunion will be a bright and beautiful celebration for us all!
