To all of Helen's children and grandchildren: Helen was a special lady. I will never forget her sense of humor, tears of joy to see babies, and her popcorn cakes. She will be able to do more in heaven as an angel up there, than as an angel on earth.-The Rasmussen Family

Sandy, Joe, Donna and Marie, I am hoping that I am able to see you during the visitation but I am working late this evening and may not get out in time. It was with great sadness that I learned of your mom's death especially when I spoke to Sandy a couple of weeks ago and things were going okay. I have such great memories of her and the lovely cards she sent and the evenings the "girls" came over to play cards. Sue and I would peek out to see who was giggling the most! Your mom was a very special lady and there is a special place for her in heaven. I am sure that my mom and Betty were there to great her with a brand new royal rummy game and a big bag of pennies!! Many prayers and hugs go out to you all. Terrie

We shared many stories at Aiello's and I will never forget how polite and caring she was. My Mom Jean (Gelsone) Lindgren also offers her sympathy. May you find comfort knowing she is at peace.
