Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

  • Ken; our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your mom was a true original, a real LADY, and will be missed by many. Tom & I always enjoyed spending time with her. We will both miss her at your annual Grey Cup Parties, the many Wednesday night suppers we shared with you and her, and all other annual occasions at which we would have seen her. I want to recognize her care and concern for Tom (and our family) when he was so ill after his stroke. Our love and prayers to you Ken, Diana and the girls. - Posted by: Linda & Tom Lenhardt (Friend) on: Jan 18, 2005

  • I will always cherish the times with Auntie Helen. The visits with her and Uncle Louis at the Jefferson home and the condo. The surprise meeting at a local restaurant. It was so neat seeing her in her little office at WpgOldCountry doing her tasks and being a true professional. Whenever she connected with us she always asked key questons about us.That very elegant Christmas card from her every year will be missed. We are thankful for the way Auntie Helen touched our lives and for the example she was in how to live life with class. - Posted by: Juergen and Dagmar Werner (Family) on: Jan 18, 2005

  • I will really miss knowing that Auntie Helen is still around. Through the years, she and her loving husband(Uncle Louie) had always been an encouragement to me. We had many wonderful visits together in their home as well as in ours and her loving and cheery disposition as well as her smile always warmed my heart. We will miss her, but no one can take away the warm memories we will always hold in our hearts of the times we were together. - Posted by: rudi werner (Family) on: Jan 17, 2005
