  1. I could always count on my mother. I always knew she loved me. She took the time to read to me, do holiday activities, crafts, birthdays, girl scouts, helped me with homework etc… I will miss her very much and I am thankful I had the privilege of spending thirty years with her.

  2. I want to express my sincere condolences for the loss of your wife and mother. As a friend of Ruth and Bendik, I know she is very loved and will be dearly missed. I appreciated the Van Sickle’s kindness when they opened their home to be on a visit a few years ago. I remember being instantly made to feel part of a loving family. I am very sorry for your loss.

  3. My Aunt Helen was such a beautiful, strong woman that made me feel so very, very proud to be her nephew.

  4. Becky and I will forever miss our very dear friend. We feel so priviledged to have been able to call her our friend. She once gave me a little framed poem that said…
    ‘Sisters, not by blood, but by love’.
    It sits on my desk as a constant reminder of the family connection we felt towards each other.

    With deepest sympathy…
    Leslie & Becky

  5. Helen and I would like to say goodbye to a neighbor and offer our sincere sympathy to Charlie and his family.
    Roger and Helen
