I was very sad to learn of Helen's passing. She and I grew up together in Wolseley and attended the schools there. Helen was a good student and athelete , enjoyed taking part in school activities. She was pretty , friendly and always seemed to be happy and smiling. She certainly caught my eye at an early age !!! It was wonderful to see her at our 50th High School re-union, and she will be missed at our 60th for sure. My condolences to her family and appolgies for not being able to attend the services for her . May she rest in peace Doug C

Lucy and Steve.So sorry to hear about your Mom. I was just taking a chance by reading an obit in the Regina Leader Post and was quite suprised. Don't know if you remember me but we hung around as kids with Jay and Fred. Pete Bell

I unexpectedly came upon this today. You all, of course, have my most heartfelt condolences. I clearly remember, as a boy, how warm and welcoming your mother was toward me when I came by to visit Lucy. I am sure she had that effect on many others. I hope you find comfort during your time of loss. Take good care of yourselves. Cam Buchanan

I want to extend my sincerest condolences to Lucy and Steve and their families at this time. I went to high school with Helen and remember her happy,sunny personality. She was kind to everyone; thoughtful to a fault and a very caring individual. Although I did not see much of her over the years, she has a special place in my heart and my thoughts are with you at this time. Sincerely Marlene Chatterson
