    My sympathy goes out to all the friends and family of Helene. I haven’t seen Helene for years, but I remember her very well when I was growing up. Helene gave me one of my first jobs babysitting her son David when he was a child. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss.

    Helene’s care and leadership of our children in school was greatly appreciated. She was always quick to support any youth group. She stopped at every Scout car wash fund raiser. Often her car was clean and shiny when she pulled in. This family will long remember Helene.

    My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Helene was a teacher (helper) when I attended alternative ed at Central Montcalm. She was a great lady and will be missed. JoAnn Bupp (Baxter) passes along her condolences as well. She has known Helene for a long time. We are very sorry for your loss.
