Helen was an important part of our Mother’s life. The trips to Wildwood Lodge, life in Byron, and weekly bridge parties were all part of a close, lifelong friendship. Mom especially appreciated her friends’ many visits at the nursing home. Sandra fondly remembers Helen as her Grade 7 teacher. We were pleased to visit with Helen at Sandra & David’s reception for Thelma Barnett. Please accept our condolences.
It is with great sorrow that I heard of Helen’s passing. We shared a lot of good times and had great conversations togeather over the years. I will certainly miss these times with Helen..and will always cherish the friendship that we shared. Marion Janes
My sister, Noreen Davis, called to tell me about Mrs. Roberts passing. I want to express my condolences to her family. She was my grade 5 & 6 teacher at Southwood P.S. and a great teacher she was. I remember her reading to us each day after lunch. The book was Jean Valjean and she knew just when to stop each day because no students were away the whole time she read to us. I met her again a couple of years ago when I went to the theatre with the Opti-Mrs. I spoke to her about the book and she seemed pleased that I remembered it. It continues to be one of my favourite plays to see.
Dear Judy, George and families;
We are sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I only just saw it in todays paper and it was too late to come to the service. Please know our heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you. We are sure you have many cherished memories of time spent together to keep her close in your hearts forever.

I was sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. She was a good friend of my mother (Colette Scully) for a long time. Unfortunately, Mom is in the hospital and couldn’t attend the service. We’ll remember her and all the times we spent chatting during her daily trips to the pool.
