Walt & Helen were our next door neighbors in the yellow house. They took such pride in their home and worked together to keep their house and lawn immaculate. They appeared to be very private people. But once you got to know them, they were very friendly and appreciated hearing from you. I have missed having Helen as a neighbor these past few years and it makes me sad to know I won’t be finding messages from her on my answering machine. Rest in peace, Helen!
Pam I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She’s lived a very full life and I’m sure will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

We were so sad to learn of Helen’s passing last week. We so enjoyed facilitating Bingo at Homestead and Helen was a big part of that. She was always so kind and thankful for playing. She was one of my Dad’s best buddies when he resided there. May she rest in peace. Nancy and Gordon Prins
