Dear Bob and family so sorry to hear of your mothers passing . She is now in a better place and free of all the suffering she has been through . I'm sure she is in heaven looking down on you this morning. God bless her.

I am also so blessed to have Helen Ficek as my Grandma. I am very grateful for all of the great memories we've shared with her over the years and especially for being able to be with her in her last few days on Earth. I will remember that time forever. She's a very special woman and will definitely be missed by many. I love you Grandma! <3

I am so very blessed to not only have Helen Ficek as my Grandma, but to have so many wonderful memories too. She was a strong woman, always giving to others, someone who had a great sense of humor and so simple to please. Grandma has been the heart of our family keeping all of us together over of these years and I pray that the beat goes on. I will miss having her in my life. I love you, Grandma.
