(mama, best friend, ma) <! >
It was a miraculous day Aug 2, 2001 when Helen Richins went to be with her husband, Aldo, her brother Bob, and her parents on the other side. She left behind on this side her kids, Lee and Barbara Crebs; her grandkids, Randy and Gayle of Oregon, Michael and Lesley of Oregon, Penny and Scott of Draper and Michelle and Blake of Sandy; her great-grandkids, Michael, Ryan, Colby, Nick, Lauren, and Maddison; her great-great-grandkids, Zachary and Carlon; her brother Norm; sisters Alice and Ida; and nephews Dave and John and a niece Patty Smith.
She touched many lives while here, including her family, neighbors, church and business associates who all were better off for being involved with her. We were truly touched by an Angel. She had all the answers to the hard questions of life. She was just an all around good person who never forgot birthdays, anniversaries, and all the other things that were important to us. She lived and breathed for her family making things as easy as possible for them. She will never be forgotten.
Thanks to the entire staff at Crosslands Care Center for the help they rendered during her illness and for the loving care given to her family during the past several years of her sickness...both present and past employees...all were great!
God's speed on your final journey, Ma. Say "hi" to Pa for us. We will, and do miss both of you very much.
