Helen McNulty Obituary

Tim, Maryann & Families -
What we have once enjoyed
we can never lose. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed and very dear. Your mom was such a classy lady. She will be missed by all.

John, Kathy & Family

Mary Ann, Tim and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Helen. I have been so honored to have had her in my life and she always made me feel so special as my Godmother. I always looked forward to getting my OWN container of toffee squares from her. I know she is in a better place now sharing her love and sweet personality w/so many loved ones...including my mom! My thoughts and prayers are w/all of you during this difficult time.
Love, Leisa (Bixler) Kowalski

To Helen's family: My very sincere condolences in the loss of Helen. She used to come along with Betty Morini and me to the monthly dances at the Oak Park Arms, listening to big band music. Afterwards we'd all go out to eat (often at Leona's), enjoy a good meal and conversation and then I would bring her home to her apartment in Forest Park. She will be sincerely missed.

Tim, Mary Kay, and Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

Ed + Kathy Aubin

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
