Dear Family

Helen was a joyful, exuberant 10 year old when I met her at Gramma Bev Bushel's home.

She helped take care of my 1-year old daughter, Kati, who was blessed to be in the care of her Gramma, a couple of days a week. Kati enjoyed Helen's company as she danced around the yard and told stories about school and the animals in her life.

On behalf of Kati and myself, please accept our sincere condolences on Helen's passing.

Her laughter, ready smile, genuine enthusiasm and care for those around her was a wonderful gift.

Helen's star shines brightly.

In sympathy Kate Thrasher

We're so sorry to hear about Helen's passing. Beverly was so proud of her, we were always hearing stories about her as she grew up.

I am very sorry to hear about Helen.

Helen always had a great smile and full of energy even when others were down. She knew how to help people in difficult situations and brought them back to a positive happy mood. Helen will truly be missed by many people who know her. I am truly blessed to haven know Helen.

We are going to miss Helen,

She marched to her own drummer with courage and conviction, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm.

I always called her "hellion" and when I did, she would laugh and agree with my unashamedly.

Whenever I picture her in my mind, it is always with that half smile and gleam of mischief in her eye.

And I wouldn't want to think of her any other way.

Enjoy your next adventure kiddo.

Helen was our niece, cousins to our kids. She was born three months after our first kid. Helen immediately joined to our group of munchkins. She had cousins to play with, to fight with, to care about and to learn how to grow. Helen needed to go her own way, she was fearless when things didn't seem right. She was feircely loyal to her friends and would stand beside anyone who needed a hand.

Helen was in and out of our home with her cousins and her favorite Uncle Rod. Always welcome! He would always take time for a hug, a story and well thought out honest advice. Big heart and lots of stories! I will miss her, her cousins will always have a spot in their hearts where there cousin should be. We will always love her and remember her story.

Cheyne & Jerry,

Sincere condolences. Helen truly was a special person, direct, caring and kind. Enjoyed chatting with her. Helen was so comforting to me when my Mum passed away. When ever I hear "Four Strong Winds" will not only think of Mum but Helen will be in my thoughts and remember our very teary hugs when sung on the WOW stage. Hold close all your memories of Helen. Thinking of you.
