Condolence: It's hard to believe that it's almost 1 year since Helen passed. The first year is definitely the worst. I hope that much of the sadness has been replaced with happy memories of Helen. I hope this for Howard, Aaron and all of Helen's siblings. I went through St. Leo's grade school with Helen and Kathy and the Folk Group with Helen, Kathy, Mary-Ellen ,Loretta, Peter, and Rita. I wish happy memories for all of you.

Condolence: Howard and Aaron, I am so sorry to hear of Helen's unexpected passing. I have great memories of Helen from the years we worked together...crazy side trips on our lunch hours, laughing till tears rolled down our faces, the amazing way she told stories. Working side-by-side with Helen was amazing whether developing OW policy, writing training manuals or actual training. She really made work enjoyable. A fantastic woman! She will be missed.

Condolence: Having been taught by Helen over the years... I reflect on her as a great person and teacher with a big sense of humour. Deep condolences to her Family.

Condolence: I worked with Helen as a trainer. She always had so much energy and the ability to "wing it" We worked well together as she would give me tasks to do which satisfied my organized side. I truly miss working with her. Sorry for your loss Howard and Aaron. She will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Howard, Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Helen, I do know, having known you, that she was a wonderful person. I think of you from time to time as I we did connect as friends during our short time together at the College (and we did say that we would keep in touch, but as such things almost inevitably go, we did not). Please contact me when the time is right for you and we shall get together. My deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. Paul

Condolence: Aaron & Family, Deepest Condolences to you Aaron and your Father. I am sorry to hear of your dear mother Helen passing away. I keep you in my thoughts and my prayers during this difficult time.

Condolence: To Howard, I am very sorry for your loss. I was just speaking about you recently and discussing the great times we had all those years ago. You were such a terrific teacher, friend and a person with a calm and caring manner. I think a large part of this came from your happy home life. I am sorry that I never had the chance to get to know Helen. Again, all my best wishes to you and your son. I am truly saddened by your loss.

Condolence: I struggle with the right words to say - as really there are no words to express how deeply shocked and saddened at the unexpected loss of Helen. I was very blessed to get to know Helen and Howard and Aaron over the last two years. We spent countless hours talking, laughing, enjoying the sunshine and working on projects. Helen was my friend, confidant, encourager and advice giver. She helped me in many ways during a difficult time in my life. I do not understand why she was taken so young and I cannot imagine what Howard and Aron must be feeling. This is truly devastating. Helen was so happy to be retired and loved her best friend Howard fiercely. She enjoyed the time she had playing cards with her friends and truly cared about her neighbours. She told great stories and always had great advice about how to handle challenges at work. And we laughed. God did we laugh. I will miss her laugh and her way of looking at life. She told me that she realized that many people had a rough go and that she was very fortunate to have a wonderful husband, a loving son and a great home. She doted on Ralph and had a gentle way with Frank. Helen did not suffer fools but she had endless patience for those she cared about. She told me once that Fatima and Norm and George were not just neighbours, not just friends but truly family that she would do anything for as they had been so good to her and Howard over the years. She took me under her wing and comforted and encouraged me. She challenged me to make good decisions and to live my best life to the fullest. I miss her. I loved her. I am truly saddened by this loss. I hope Howard and Aaron can find some small comfort in their memories, and in the knowledge of her deep love for them. Love does not leave but moving forward without her here will be extremely hard. I know I will see her again and we pick up our conversation where we left off. Rest now Helen and we will all be there to sit in the sunshine with you soon enough. Love always Trudy

Condolence: Aaron, we are so sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care of each other.

Although I have not been in touch for many years I will always remember how Helen enjoyed the staff she worked with and her firm but caring way with the clients she served for many years.

Condolence: Dear Peter, I only thought of her after many years two days ago. A difficult time for you. Sorry for that.... Respectfully, Murray Eldred

Condolence: Hello Peter: Your news is quite sad. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I recalled that all those years ago, on occasions when I would visit your house, from time to time Helen would tease me (in a friendly way). I never told you but I always enjoyed that attention from your older sister and accepted the teasing and the humorous way in which she would do it. Always with that “twinkle”. My sympathies to your entire wonderful family. Jude Byrne

Condolence: Thinking of Helen brings me to the songs of Joni Mitchell back in those magical days. I strongly believe Helen was one of the true 'Ladies of The Canyon' Joni Mitchell sang about way back then. Howard. Karen and I send our deepest affection for you and Aaron- I remember a time when Helen spoke at my class-at the end of her talk, she and I laughed, and I mean laughed-I said to her that she was the "Ultimate Edutainer"-she had everyone in the class laughing and learning all at the same time-pure magic. I remember Karen and I and many others joining you and Helen for Backgammon at your apartment on the lakeshore near Norris Cresc., greatest apartment ever. But I think what I remember most is you and Helen meeting, love right there, a love that will always be there. With deep affection for you. Arthur and Karen Lockhart

Condolence: Howard and Aaron, Expressing sincerest condolences of Helen's passing. May your beautiful family memories bring you some comfort during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to you Howard and Aaron. I grew up with Helen and her twin. They were 1 set of twins my sister and I were another set and there were two more sets of twins.

Your kindness and looking at things in a very positive way and finding humour in everything is something that you always had. That is a special ability to have. You left a special mark in everyone. My condolences and prayers for your family as they go through this troubled time without you and it would be very difficult.
