I was saddened to learn of Helen's death and want to send my sincere sympathy to all of her surviving family. I am a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Colorado Springs and spent many hours with Helen when she attended Our Saviors. Her loving and caring personality were always evident as she communicated with our church family. I have missed her presence these past few years and will always remember her most pleasant smile. Sharing your sorrow....

Helen was always there to talk to when I went through the Riegel Center and I enjoyed knowing her. A few years after the in-patient Riegel closed, I got together with Helen and Ann and we enjoyed laughing and discussing the changes we all had made in our lives. And we all enjoyed our food! I am sad to hear that her life has ended with cancer, but I know there are alot of people out here that she touched with her nursing career.
