My dearest Helen, 14 years youve been gone. I hope you hear me talking to you all the time. Youre no longer here, but you will be in my heart forever. Your spirit, your humor, your gusto for life and most importantly your love. Helen, you will always be my best friend. I will miss you forever.

To my angel above, I can't believe it's been 13 years, but yet, I can. I still miss you so very much. Your humanly presence is gone but your spirit will forever stay with me. Until we meet again....

Dear Helen, It is 1 day away from being a year since you have been gone. I just want you to know, I think about you alot. I swear your spirit has hooked up with my brother, and Rita's brother and plays pranks on me. There was an instance when I lost one of my diamond earrings and I looked high and low for it, I found it the next day in front of the pantry door, and I know it was not there the day before cause I opened and closed the door at least 20 times.Then there was another time when I swear someone was whispering in my ear wake up and have a drink with me.How I wish you were still here to celebrate with me and Rita she is giving me one of her kidneys on May 29th. I know god needed you,I was told when I was 13 and my brother passed that only the good die young. God needed your kind heart and warm loving ways with him. I will always remember the great times we shared,the laughter, the tears we shedded, and the love we shared as friends. I will always love you Helen and will keep you close to my heart.Love Eleanor Johnson

Dear Helen. It's been almost a year since (I) lost you and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you or an evening that goes by that I don't pray for you. I still miss you terribly. There are times when I think I actually see you....and my heart aches when I realize that it is only my mind playing tricks on me, which is so unfair. There are times when I find out something interesting or funny and reach for the phone to call you....and realize you are no longer there to call. That's when it hurts the most. I think it hurts more now then a year ago....it's more real..I have to accept that you are no longer here... There will be no other best friend for me other than you. No one can take your place. I still get teary eyed sitting at the bar and seeing a car pull up - I so badly want to say - Here comes HELINKA! As I always did...but to realize I will never say that again. My heart aches more than it did a year ago. I thought it would get easier..but it doesn't. But I do have the memories, the laughter, the games, the stories, and our times we shared together. This past year, I had the memory of saying....last year Helen and I did this, or that....but after April 19th of this year, I won't be able to say that - - gosh a whole year...time is supposed to make things easier and heal wounds...I guess I clearly need more time. You were one of a kind.
I love you and I miss you.
Your friend.

Bob, I met you and Helen through my sister, Suzette and Rick. I just wanted you to know what I thought of your wife...she was a wonderful, fun loving, funny, witty, down to earth human being and in the time I knew her she really became one of the people I wanted to see most at Suzette and Rick's functions. I am going to miss her dearly. I offer my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.

Dear BOB, We all will miss your wife Helen, she was a great person, liked and loved by all who knew her. She touched my life in a very special way as have you. The saddest day for us 3 is when I moved to Las Vegas because I basically grew up with you two. I still remember Helen and my days at Sizzler. I am lucky too have friends like you two. I will miss her dearly but hold her in my heart till we meet in heaven. LOVE YOU FOREVER BOB. LOVE ELEANOR
