Your mother was a rare, loving and beautiful woman. I’m so glad I had the privilege of getting to know her. She will be sadly missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you both.

Laurel and David, your mom was a great mom to many of us and I have great memories of my time spent at your house. Your mom always made me feel welcome, special and a part of your family. I am sure your mom and dad are together again and watching over you both. Much love to both of you.

Laurel and David,
Heaven has gained what you have lost, there is nothing like that of a Mother’s love. Mrs. Helle will be missed by many, her smile was infectious! After almost 30 years, I am certain the Mr. and Mrs. Helle are joined together again in their forever home we know as Heaven. I Pray that you both will find solace in knowing that they are enjoying the peace that surpasses all understanding for eternity. As I have come to know myself, one day we will be with our Mother’s again in paradise. I will always remember visiting your Mom and Dad in their beautiful home down by the riverside, I can only imagine the beautiful home they now know as their forever home. God Bless you both in the days ahead as you reflect on the lives they both gave you and how you have become the adults you are because of the both of them.

I took your mom and Helen Cominsky to our Satellite luncheons at the First Presbyterian church for many years, I enjoyed having your mom in the car with us. She was a kind and gracious lady. She always had a beautiful smile on her face. I’ll miss her.
