As I was looking up Helens number to try to contact her son I was saddened to hear of her passing. My fondest memories of Mrs. Hietala was when I was fortunate enough to be invited for supper. Mmm Taco night at the Hietala’s. To all her family and loved ones, my condolences 

March 19,2017
Phoned you today. Line disconnected. We go back a long way girl. Riding the LRT in Ab.
to U of C. and sharing many laughs and tears.
Your love for humans kind will always be remembered. My thoughts today are for your
dear family who you spoke of so very often.

Helen loved her children, her grandchildren and her siblings very much.  Helen had such a great sense of humour and was so proud of her family.  I will always remember her kindness, thoughtfulness and what a good person she was.  My deepest sympathy to the entire family in the loss of your beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Friend.  Her love will always shine brightly for her family.

Dear June Arthur and families, my deepest sympathy , I have many memories of your wonderful family beginning with Ted and Marie, so missed. Elaine Gidyk

Lisa, Alex and Hietala family.  We are thinking of you as you grieve the loss of Helen.  Sending our love across the miles. Linda and Kevin Carlson

A light has left your household. You will be so dearly missed, friend.

Helen was a woman with a heart of gold, always giving time to those in need.

Helen was such a mood booster--always positive and quick with a compliment. She was a valued Strata Council member and a really wonderful person. I will miss her very much.

You fought a fierce battle Helen.
Fond memories of a dear friend with whom I shared laughter and so much more.
I'll never forget you.
My condolences to your family.
