Aunt Helen was a truly beautiful person, always kind , generous and loving. She was my godmother and I will always remember how wonderful she was to me. I know she is with the Lord now and is happy. My love goes out to her family at this time, we are thinking of you and praying for you!
Much love, Margaret Mary
Cousin Helen was a very special and wonderful person to me when I was growing up. My mom, Marion Goverts and Helen were very close. Our condolences to all her family.
Aunt Helen was very special to all of us. She was so sweet and kind and took an interest in everyone around her.
We will miss her. Love and prayers to our cousins during this difficult time. God bless all of you.
Love, Mary Rose and family
Helen was such a dear woman—she jumped into life and church with both feet. I knew her when I was at resurrection as pastoral administrator and visited her when she was at St. John’s home where I am chaplain. Thank you for sharing her and her wonderful spirit with us! I loved how you wrote her obit too.
With prayers for peace for her and all who she lived,

Our Aunt Helen was a great and loyal friend to our mom since childhood. She was always an incredibly kind, gentle and gracious person. The goodness of God was always evident in her. Rest in peace, Aunt Helen.
My sympathy to the family. Helen was a kind wonderful person. I am a resurrection parishioner who substituted for as needed at St. John of Rochester's nocturnal adoration hour. Dan, I am Mark Buchanan's father [wrestling].
Aunt Helen will be missed by all, such great memories growing up. She had a great sense of humor and shared with all around her. She loved children and bless her for her patience. Her family was very important to her even the much extended great great nieces and nephews. She so enjoyed the connections she gained with technology and being able to have a "Smart Phone" to see pictures and videos of family near and far. I will miss all of our "short phone calls". She valued her independence and right to the end tried not to burden her family and did as much as she could for herself. The move to Assisted Living was difficult in the beginning, but later she was glad to have made so many friends at her new home. RIP Aunt Helen
