Was so sorry to hear the passing of Helen. My heart goes out to all the family. One of the best cooks North Platte ever had. Now is your time to soar.

It was a pleasure to take care of Helen. We had lots of laughs and talks together. There is not a doubt in my mind that she is living in comfort and peace watching over everyone who touched her life and lives she has touched. Including mine. I will never forget Helen. I will never forget the smile on her face the few times I brought my daughter into work to stop and visit with her. I believe people come into our lives for a reason. I’m glad you chose us to care for her. Heaven gained another set of wings. Peace comes within the Lord. There you will find comfort. My heart goes out to you and yours. God bless. My condolences.
