I’m so sorry about your loss. It has been fun over the past 50+ years to have a running joke with both Joe and Helen about borrowing a dollar. That started when my dad, Muzzy, and Joe were on City Council together. Helen was one of the nicest ladies I knew. She will be missed. Thinking of you.
My condolences to Sharon and the Breunig family. May loving memories help comfort you at this time and your faith in God bring you peace. My prayers are with you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom will always be a special lady.
Dear Daughters and families, You all have my prayers and sympathy. Your mother was a beautiful woman and very caring woman. You all have mirrored her gracious generosity in your lives. You all are in my prayers and thoughts especially during this time of loss.
Sharon, I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers in dealing with the loss of your mother.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother.
I have talked with Helen at South Haven and was tickled she remembered me.Have many fond memories of your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and hugs to you all. God bless your family.

Dear Sharon and Family,
Your mother was such a gratuitous and loving woman. I feel blessing to have known Helen. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you.
My prayers are with all of you. Your Mom was a bright spot in my growing up years, always smiling and welcoming. Your basement was always available for playing, church, games etc. I also remember the chocolate cake cookies, YUM! Helen was always a very gracious lady.
Peace be with all,

Breunig Girls: I know we’ve already talked but wanted to once again tell you how much we loved your mother and dad. Your mom was such a wonderful person and friend to my mother and your dad and my dad were best friends for at least 60 years. We had so much fun with all of you over the years. Aunt Helen will be greatly missed but Mom, Dad, and Uncle Joe now have a foursome.
Our love and prayers for all of you.There are so many words that come to mind when thinking of Aunt Helen; kindness, sincerity, love and a genuine interest in others. She will be missed.
