Luann probably beat me to this, but I hope the word gets out and we overload the b-w website with fond wishes / condolences for one great lady.
Love you Mom!!!
PS – Linda feels the same only twice as much!!!!
I am truly so fond of you all, which is a tribute to Helen & Larry. The Love & Humor of the family goes on. The cookie story told to me by Helen of course and told again today at the memorial by Tom is probably my favorite. The fact that Deb pee’d on Helen during the family photo was new to me but oh…so…funny ! Keep sticking together the way you alway’s have and Take care. Love To You All !
Mom, We will miss your smile, humor and love.. you will be missed very much….
Love you! Debbie, Pete & Kelsey
Still think of you often and miss you terribly..
Love you mom..
Just to advise anyone who views this site that ‘the kids’ were able to share an e-Mail message last night in remembrance and celebration of Mom’s birthday March 7th despite being separated across the country. All our love MOM.

Hi Momma,
The family is getting together this July 6th to remember and honor you in your final resting place. It will be hard to do, but that way, you and daddy will be together for eternity and keep each other company when the time comes.
I miss you terribly and wish for one more hug… but I do feel your presence with me everyday. I love and miss you mom..
Deb
Hi momma
Well we got thru another 4th. I hate the fireworks. Missy
had another day year for that. I couldn’t hardly get her outside to go potty. I’m sure you know but Pat and I bought
a place in lake las vegas. They are just getting ready to stake it and start the foundation. It is up in the hills abit so it shouldn’t be to hot. HaHa. I hope you like it. It will be alittle hard to move when the time comes but Pat and I are really
looking forward to it.
I think of you always as I sure you know.
Love you momma.
Your baby doll.
Hi Mom,
It is close to Thanksgiving and I always think about the gatherings we had when we were young. How I miss those days! I wanted to let you know you are always near to my heart and I love and miss you daily. We thought Dad was going to join you a couple of weeks back, but through the grace of god he pulled through. I think you had something to do with that also though. Love you Mom, I miss hugging you!
Hi Momma
Well I ‘m sure you know we lost daddy today. Our hearts are breaking. The only comfort is knowing he is with you and grandmas and grandpas. Luann was with daddy at the end and our kids graditude and love and prayers are with each other. What do we do now?
We love you both and god willing we see each other again some day.
Hi Mom,
Sitting here at work today thinking of you and dad. It gets lonely down here sometimes, and takes everything I have not to break down and cry. I hope you and dad are catching up on what transpired and I see Linny told you. Miss you both terribly and now I understand what you meant that the grief never does go away.
Love you and dad….
Deb
Hi Mom, I am hoping that dad has located you by now and you are together. I am scared, this is the first Christmas with either of you and I am extremely lonely. Not certain how to overcome this feeling. Funny how the little things seem so large in my memory… Thumbprint cookies, daddy crumpling wrapping paper in the phone. Laughter, love and wanting to be together. I will never forget what you have taught me. I am lighting a candle for you and dad,. LOVE AND MISS YOU SO!!!! Deb
Hi mom and dad,
Deb and Pete left a couple of days ago after a wonderful and very fun week. The house is so quite. Always thinking of you guys and after great times with the family miss you guys being here so much. We kids have to be the luckiest kids in the world to have had the love of the both of you. I know we will see you some day and just know until that the thoughts of you fill myour heart. Love you
I am sure you know we were blessed with a beautiful little grandson. His name is Wyatt. Mom and dad he looks exactly like Jason with the exception he is bigger in both length and size. Growing like a weed. I am sure you are in love with him. Miss you so.
Hi Mom, Dad and Linda. Getting close to the holidays and it seems to get lonelier every year. I miss you all so much. The encouragement and love that you all resonated provides a sense of comfort. I only hope you all are together with the rest of the family we have lost. Time is getting to be so precious, but I know when my time comes I will be able to hug you all once again. Love you all so much!!
