  • I have such fond memories of Aunt Helen. She will be missed by so many. She was one of the most positive people I have ever met. I especially loved some of the get-togethers she organized such as the pajama party in her living room for all the girls in the family. We ordered pizza and giggled a lot. She loved it when people came to visit. Love you Aunt Helen. - Posted by: Maria Bergen (Neice) on: Jan 14, 2014

  • I will always remember my mom telling me she never judged her nieces or nephews, that was not her job. her job was to love them no matter what mistakes and all. also will remember going for walks when younger picking flowers. I love you mom and will miss you.

  • I'll always remember how when I was younger she used to tell me stories of when I was younger or when I used to put her hair in ponytails, and whenever I'd buy a new bra she'd say she needs to go buy a push up bra so her boobs have more pop. i love you so much grandma i'll always remember when your van would make *wrong turns* and go to mcdonalds when we went to st vital park or looking for garage sales - Posted by: nikki (granddaughter ) on: Jan 11, 2014

  • She was a very kind considerate woman who lived to share her time and her baked goodies with others she cared about. she enjoyed family get togethers when most of her family was there including boyfriends that she learned to care about as well. She was a beautiful woman to get to know in the short time we had to get to know each other. In her pain and suffering, her heart still went to help others she cared for. I know now she is free of pain and suffering and enjoying her eternity with her predeceased family members and lovingly watching those she left behind. She will be missed by many. Happy eternity Helen. - Posted by: Rick Busser (Daughters boyfriend.) on: Jan 11, 2014
