To our forever friends~the Heinen Family, Yesterday was beautiful, you made your mom so proud. She loved you all fiercely, and brought such joy to many. We will hold onto those memories, all her wonderful stories, and pray that those will help get you through this very sad time. We know adjusting to life without that little spitfire by your side will be a big adjustment, but promise to help you along the way. God bless you all.
We love you,
The Pasternak's

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

Helen was one of the sweetest ladies I have met. She would greet me with a huge smile and open arms, always asking me "How are those two boys of yours?" I couldn't leave without that lovely smile and a big God Bless You left in my memory every time I saw her at the store. May we all continue to share a smile like hers and a God Bless You to all we meet. Helen was one of a kind.
