Condolences
keith and Morgan, I met mom way back in the 80's as we worked side by side at DC4, we became good friends outside of work, hung out and chatted often, then life got busy and I left the daycare we still talked but not as often as we should of. I have movies of morgan and my oldest in day care together growing up pictures of keith as I watched the 2 of you as babies, years later you keith became a friend of my Marissa and hung out funny how things work out. I am very sorry about your mom and will always have great memories of her. she was a awesome person and a wonderful mother.. god bless..

I will miss my oldest and dearest friend of 36 years. We met in 9th grade and have been friends ever since. We stayed close even when she moved to Delhi. My dad had a place we called "the country house" and it was only 25 minutes from Helen. I'm glad we got to watch each other's children grow into wonderful adults. We had fun through the years and I will be sad next time I go to the country house, because I will not see her. I will keep in contact with Morgan & Keith and hopefully Helen is looking down to smile on us all. So sorry Morgan, Keith, Gail & Billy.

Words cannot describe the loss of a friend I have known since kindergarten!!! Summers in the landing waiting on the bottom of Margaret street to see if the cute boy that works at iga would come out. Hanging out at stroppels when we got older!!! All the times we got into trouble no one knows y things happen , but until we meet again dear friend keep heaven lively!!! Keith , Morgan , Gail and billy please accept my condolences
Gail, Billy, Keith & Morgan - we're all saddened and shocked by the loss of cousin Helen. We wish we could have made it to the service, but the weather conspired against us. It's hard to believe it was so long ago that we all grew up together on Margaret Street, and now she's the first of the gang to leave us. Brings back memories of swimming in your pool, watching "Superman" at your house because you had the first color TV on the block, playing hide and seek all over the neighborhood at ten o'clock at night, driving the Potters crazy when we hit their power lines playing baseball, etc. I'll always remember that sad day when we had to throw Helen out of the bar because they changed the drinking age from 18 to 21, and she had to go into exile for two years (but she made up for it). She was always smiling and full of life. We'll miss her. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Morgan and Keith, I enjoyed working with your mom , and her friendship, for so many years. She was always willing to go the extra mile to help anyone, even without being asked. Always remember the love and pride she had for you both. Her caring spirt will live on with you.
I'll always remember my sister Helen as one of the most loving and caring person I've known. Blessed with a wonderful heart and sharp sense of humor, Helen treated everyone she knew as a member of her family. She would always be there to help someone in need. She was noble and rightous in all her intentions and lived her life boldly and proudly and was an inspiration to me in ways far too numerous to describe here. Few loved her family and friends more than Helen Stroppel. Her devotion to the lucky ones who knew her makes me very proud to have had the pleasure to call her my litte sister. I'll think of her on every Valentine's Day. Her physical presence will be missed but her spirit will live on in all who remember her fondly.
Rest in Peace kiddo.
Truly sorry to here of the passing of Helen. I worked with her at the College for many years and she was a caring, loving teacher at DC4. She will be missed.

Dear Morgan, Keith and Gail, we are deeply saddened by the the sudden tragic loss of Helen. Although we never got to meet in person, I feel she was part of my extended family through Gail. God bless you all.

My sincere sympathies Morgan and Keith. I knew your mother from DC4 when my children were young and when I served on the Board there. She was always such a warm, caring person.
