To my dear sister, every time I see bling I still think of you and you have never left my heart. I talked to Doreen today on the phone and Glenn and Kevin are doing fine. We all miss you so much, and i miss the sound of your voice. I love my sister and just needed to tell you I love you. I have another grandchild and you would of had a blast with him. His name is Kyston and is now 3. Madyson is 14 now and loves to play softball and is the catcher. Anyston likes gymnastics and as for me still working and loving on the grandkids. Just like you did. You were the best, and I am glad we spent that special day together, went shopping and most of all coffee and hugs in your driveway. Posted on Feb 24,2017

It will be three yrs tomorrow tomorrow , I know your at a better place now.. Some how my heart doesn't just won't let go... I still hear in the months before you left your pain and heart break of what you were going through ..... I wanted to stop it but I coudnt do it .. Only you could but chose not to.. I am so sorry and sick about that. I miss your phone calls,your laughter, your getting mad at me and even saying i wasn't in the shower when I was..telling me my clothes were to big not instyle.. And talking about getting our hair done... You always said make sure it is taken care of... And you passed away the night before you got to get yours done..I know when I see you again you are going to Yell at Me , because it wasn't Blonde... I'm sorry about that .. I do hope and pray you know your still in my heart every day.... I miss and Love You. Shirley
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To my sister, who I loved very much. Little did I know that the weekend in October, when we went shopping and had coffee together before I left on Sunday, that it would be the last time we would give each other a hug and tell each other that I love you. I am not going to say good bye, I will see you later. Although we had our ups and downs we never stopped loving each other and you were there for me when I needed you, as I tried to be for you. I know you are having a grand reunion with our parents, and your beloved Kimberly and grandson Brandon. Although I will never be in your house again, I will always treasure our time together and the great moments that we had. July 4th will never be the same and you always made all of us feel welcome. I also have taken one of your cats home and her name is Buttercup. She owns the place now.....lol You were loved by lotss of people, and an amazing mother and sister. Love you and your life will always live in my heart. Lena

You were such a wonderful loving person. I didnt know you long, but thought highly of you.. I enjoyed trying to get your goldfish pond going again, even if it lasted only briefly. I know you will be with our Heavenly Father, Kim and Brandon, looking down and keeping Glenn, Doreen and Kevin safe. My prayers are with your family.

Helen and Dale were friends from the 1990s at Cimarron mine and she was such an involved community volunteer she connected me to many new friends and BPW when I came to work at the public library in 2000. Central City gained much from her active volunteering for any major community event. BPW she served well and in many offices sometimes times as president like this year. She will be greatly missed.

Helen, For 44 years of my life, you were my neighbor. There are so many memories i cant begin to tell them all. You took me to school. You took me to baton competitions of Doreen and Kim's. You always included me. You were always wanting to do funny things to make people laugh. When I got older you became a friend. It seemed you never failed to talk about Kim and Brandon when we were together. Something you never could get over and now you don't have to. I know you are at peace. I will miss knowing you are there. In your memory we have adopted two of the kittens that you loved so much. I will see you again one day. Love, Kellie
