Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Condolences to Helen’s Family. So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hold only fond memories and admiration for Helen and her many talents, and pleasant demeanour. We were lucky to have her in our little town as she was an excellent and busy seamstress, and even if she was swamped with orders, she still always managed to get it done for you on time. From high school uniforms, to bridesmaids dresses for my wedding. One could always count on Helen’s supportive attendance at various community activities such as bridal or baby showers, ceramics, events, ladies house parties for Tupperware, Geneware, Tops ‘n Trends, etc. I hold only loving thoughts of her always. - Posted by: Elsie Jaman (Friend) on: Dec 02, 2024
