I met Helen when I came to Eagle Butte to teach…she was still teaching at the time. I was the driver for her and others when we went to Pierre Players…prior to Nancy Zins. She was always smiling, kind and positive!
Sorry to hear about Helen. She was a special lady. I knew her in Dupree. Our prayers to her family
Thinking of all your family.
Will miss Helen, always enjoyed seeing and talking with her.
Helen was a special lady who treated everyone with kindness and generosity, she will be missed by many
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Revelation 21:4 make this promise, it says: ” And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” What a beautiful promise, we all look forward, from our loving Creator, (Jehovah God, Psalm 83:18). May the God of peace be with you and your family.
Sincerely Yours,
Brandy Molina
