Condolences
The family of Helen C. Wassel has received the following condolences.
Gods peace to the family. I met Helen at Concordia Lutheran Church in Miami, we were in the LWML and worked on many crafts and bake sales together. What a joy to have known such a happy cheerful worker. I thought of her often after she left Miami. My deepest condolences to the family, Jan Schur
I am sending this to you for my Mother, Marjorie Luehmann. My Mom and Helen met in 1949 during their employment at St. Marys. Over the last few years Helen would pick-up my Mom for Church every week and would stop at Perkins for Potato Pancakes until it got to be to difficult for my Mom. We send our condolences to her family and friends. Gods Peace to you all.
Arlene and everyone - you have our deepest sympathy. Helen was such a loving caring person and will be missed by many people. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs to sll of you. Gary and Lois
