Hello, I am so sorry for your loss. Helen was a wonderful women and a pure soul.
She will be missed by many. We should all appreciate her in our memories and in
our hearts for who she was and allowed us to be.

Oh my God, I am very, very sorry for you and her family’s loss. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I met Helen at the SSF Women’s club with you and she worked with you at the time . I also knew Chris Lawrence too. I would come to many of your events and would always talk with her. She was such a sweetheart. My girlfriends and I also went to dinner with you guys several times. I worked for AAA back then too.
I googled you and found your site and my God, it’s just unbelievable. Helen was such a wonderful spirit and so caring. Even after all these years I have some great memories of her and you. Take care, Diane.

Hi Nolan,
Rick told me about Helen this past Friday evening. I know she was one of your oldest, closest friends and I just wanted to say that I’m really really sad and sorry that she was taken so young. She was a great friend to you and very good to me and my kids. The last time we saw Helen was years ago, she took us to dinner at Black Angus and she and Steven shared mud pie ice cream dessert. Steven was around 8 years old and had told Helen that she was his “girlfriend” and gave her a plastic ring with a big plastic stone. Steven is 21 now and has grown into a wonderful young man.
Helen was special and we have wonderful memories of her in our lives. People come into our lives for reason – I believe there are no coincidences, no accidents. Helen was one of those people that just touched our soul without even trying. She was kind, generous and loving. My love and prayers go out to her family and you as her friend.

Gretchen,
Thank you for the very kind words and the wonderful memories of Helen. Yes, Helen was very special to many and blessed us with her ever joyful and purely positive presence.
She most certainly touched many souls with her generous love of life.
Thank you again for the beautiful comment.

Hi Nolan,
I just wanted to express my thoughts and sadness with all of you. I am sorry it took me so long to reach out, however Helen has been in my thoughts for many many days, weeks, months.
I met Helen in 1992 when I was offered a job by her brother Stephen at Professional Retirement Services. Helen was my mentor, my trainer, my friend. She would talk my ear off, about work and about life. It was great having lunches with her, because she would take me to lunch and call it a “business lunch”. We would talk about work for 2 minutes, and the rest of the time was spent talking about things that women talk about. They were great times spent together!
My husband proposed to me in the parking lot of PRS. Helen was so happy and encouraging for us. Helen attended our wedding on 5/21/05, and she brought a date – it may have even been Nolan! Every anniversary thereafter, Helen would send us an Anniversary card and make a point to call us. She never forgot our wedding date. She was a lifetime friend for me, one of the very few long-term friends I have.
In August 2006, it was discovered that I had a tumor on my liver, and it was non-cancerous. Nonetheless, I had a major surgery to remove part of my damaged liver. It was a scary time for me as I had never had any surgeries or been in the hospital (other than to have my daughter who is now 3-1/2). A few months after the surgery, I got a call from Helen. Of course, I told her my liver surgery story, and she listened. Then she told me of her cancer. She told me of all the preventative things she was doing, and the testing of the gene. I couldn’t believe how much she was going through, and how frank she was to discuss it with me. I love her for that. Helen made sure her sister Marcy kept me up to date when Helen no longer could. I got the call that I didn’t want to get; that Helen had passed. It made me sad, and it made me hope that Helen knew how much she is loved and what a really good friend she had been to me. I wanted to attend the service, but I didn’t find out when it was until after it had taken place. I am grateful that I found this site.
Helen lives on in part of my spirit today and I am blessed to have had her in my life.
