This is our house where we lived with Hellen as students in grad school.  Susan, Carol & Hellen rented the downstairs.

Hellen lived in corner room on the left.  Can you see her studying for the CPA?

Hellens room was above the brick on the corner.  It was a neat home filled with love, ambitious dreams and students. I can see Hellen studying for the CPA now. 

Hellen, here is a photo where Hellen, Susan and I lived in grad school.  We rented the downstairs. Hellens room was in the back. Good memories. 

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of our chosen sister Helen.  In the summer of 1975, I was starting graduate business school and found a house to rent with 3 bedrooms in the lovely Hemphill Park furnished with beveled mirrors and curbside antiques.  I needed 2 roommates and only 30% of the B-school students were female.  Helen and Susan agreed - and so began our ever-bonded life together.  Our professional paths were aligned - as Helen & I lived in New York at the same time.  Yes, I introduced her to Tom Brown.  Susan would visit, and the 3 of us enjoyed meeting at the Windows of the World in the Twin Towers.  We three ended up in Houston and continued regular "think'n'drinks".  Seemed time stood still when we were together, laughing - yes I can still hear her infectious laugh, talking, problem solving, and more.  Our lives were parallel in so many ways: careers, aging parents, ups & downs, joys & sorrows.  Helen always brightened our days and will live forever in our hearts.


My Aunt Helen was beautiful and loved beautiful things. She was incredibly intelligent and had a generous heart. She lived a life full of travel and adventure. She had an infectious laugh, amazing handwriting, and a sense of humor that wasn’t for the thinned skinned. She will be missed more than she knows. Aunt Helen, I hope that you’re on a wonderful adventure, in a beautiful place, surrounded by loved ones, and all the small doggies to your heart’s content. 

I did not know Helen very well, but I do know. she was a very well -educated woman, like her Mother Helen. She worked hard and accomplished what she set out to do. She lived a good life, doing good things and loving and being kind to those that were lucky to know her. May you rest in peace, Helen, with our Lord, who has prepared you a room in heaven.

Cousin Helen we had some fabulous times celebrating our Mother’s Day together. And gathering in worship at Lakewood. I will always remember your leopard everything! And now I bet your heavenly mansion resembles a safari. I think you gained your spot!  
See you soon, your cousin Julie A Jones

I am broken hearted to hear of Helen's passing. I met her years ago in NYC  We were blind dates arranged by one of her UT room mates.
We did a lot of interesting things together over the years like going to England, skiing and such. She just avoided getting whacked by hurricane Sandy at my house in CT.  I got her home a day before my neighborhood was leveled and my house inundated.  We never stayed out of touch and her constant humor and optimism made her a delight to be with.
Helen
I don't think you had a great life the last 2 years but as always, you lived it with passion and dignity. Rest well, may you go to a place of peace and many small dogs.

Helen was my first cousin. We played hide and seek, and in the water hose at my grandmother’s house as children while our mothers were finishing school. She was kind enough to share her apartment with me while I was in college at the University of Texas. She had an appreciation of the finer things in life and loved her little dogs.
May you Rest In Peace,
Love
Cindy Martin

You will always be "Honey Bunch" to our family.  One of my earliest and only memories  of your father was him calling you by that name.  We pray you are with your mother and father enjoying the blessings of Heaven.  You are already missed.  Joe and Pam, you are in our prayers.  We love you.

Helen was a wonderful person. She was very intelligent, well educated, & she loved animals. Her mother, Helen, was our next door neighbor & my best friend.  We will miss you Helen.  You were always so kind & thoughtful. God bless you & your family.  
Always, Cathy & Bill Kowalski on Bassoon
