Condolence: I was so saddened at the news of Helen's passing. My deepest sympathies to Lian, Renee, and Mary. I have such great memories of the tree farm, and the great talks we shared. She was such a kind and beautiful person. She will be greatly missed.

Condolence: Hold onto the good memories, that they may bring a smile to your heart.

Condolence: Helen was a kind and gracious person with a good sense of humour and an open heart. She will be missed.

Condolence: I remember Mrs. Goodall fondly. She was my first piano teacher. I'll always remember returning to school after my first lesson with the notes written on my fingers in green ink! My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Condolence: I'm so very sorry to hear about Helen's passing. It's been a vary long time since we had last had a chance to talk. I have so many memories of her and all her family that I will cherish for all time.

Condolence: Ron, Lian, Rene, Mary and the rest of the family, please accept my deepest condolences. I am still in a state of shock. Helen was a mom to me in every way that counts and a wonderful grandma to my children. Her love knew no bounds. May the Almighty rest her soul in eternal peace. She will be greatly missed.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mary and Kevin. Though you will miss her so much, she is safe in the arms of Jesus, and we are all here for you. Love, Kathryn

Condolence: I taught with Helen at Arthur Public and also knew her through connections in Fergus. I always enjoyed her humour and quick wit. I am sorry for the loss to her family. May your love and memories help you through this tough time.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I know my parents, Ian and Elisabeth Easterbrook were such dear friends of Helen. She will be missed by so many people in the community.

Condolence: My mind floods with memories. I am so sorry Leanne, Mary and Renee at how everyone lost such a solid and loving mum! My earliest memory was on Athol Street in Fergus in your backyard. On the side garden I was examining blue flowers - called perennial blue cornflowers. Your mum appeared beside me and called them "Centennial flowers" and spent time with me showing the shape of the flower to justify this name. The year was 1967 or 1968. I have called them by this name ever since. Here in Dartmouth, I have the blue "centennial" flowers growing in my side garden - and they spread like weeds!. I grow them because - and I'm very serious about this - I always have that strong memory of your mum spending time with me back then!

Condolence: Friends and family: I have such sadness at the passing of my Mom. She has lifted so many peoples hearts. In our conversations she has many times praised me for the good things she saw me doing. She encouraged me and told me I was wonderful so often. I miss her greatly, and I am thankful to have had such a supportive Mom.

Condolence: I love you Grandma, You loved life, and taught me so much about appreciating the little things, the dragon flies and tiger lilles, the water striders, and pond frogs, the songs of the birds, and the colours in the sunrise. I will miss your hugs, your smile, your stubbornness, your voice, but most of all I will miss going for walks and having you point out all the beauty in life. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
