I would like to express my sympathy to the Hamilton family during this time of bereavement. I met Helen when I became a volunteer at the Indiana State Museum in 1987. When she became the president, I was elected vice-president and we worked closely together during our term. Helen was a dedicated volunteer and an asset to the museum. May you be comforted in knowing that she will be remembered.
I taught with your mother in Perry Township for many years and we carpooled from Carmel to the southside of Indianapolis. I am very sorry to hear of her passing and will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I thought the world of your mother and although we lost touch after she moved to Arkansas, I thought of her often. She was a wonderful person, outstanding teacher and tremendous role model for her students.
In thought and prayer,
Sue Lewis-Buscemi
My Mother is Isabel Uhrig Kreizenbeck and she and Helen were cousins. My Mother is 92.q7kqC4
I met Helen through meetings in DAR and she was one of the first people that I met through the society. She always had a smile on her face and loved to laugh and joke around. Being a teacher myself we had some things that we shared with the outlook with children.
She definately has made my life brighter just by knowing her. She will be dearly missed by all of us. I will enjoy dafadills all the more by thinking of her when I see them!
Please call if you need anything at all.

Helen was a capable leader of our Museum Volunteers. We were sorry to see her move to Arkansas, but knew she would enjoy her children.
I have known Helen for the past several years. She was an associate member of Marion Chapter NSDAR in Fayetteville. She was a valued member of our chapter and we always enjoyed seeing her radiant smile at our meetings. She was a charming lady and we will miss her dearly.
We will miss Helen until we see her in Glory. Such a wonderful, fun and vibrant woman, she certainly left a positive influence on the lives she touched. Our memories of her will always be fond and our thoughts of her will always bring a smile.
Mom and Sandy, our hearts break for you and we so wish that we could be there. Know that you and the rest of the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
PS~ I (Cassandra)will always cherish my membership in Miss Helen's club and we both thank the Lord for allowing us the honor and opportunity to minister to her when we were there at Thanksgiving.
Helen was a good member and while she was able to be a part of our group spent time being a supporting member/sister. Thank you, Helen, for being there and sharing your wisdom, insight, and your home with us on different occasions. You will be missed.
So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. We were surprised to see it in the STAR newspaper today. We send our deepest sympathy. Please let us know if the rest of the family knows-Gloria/Don JR./Marilyn/Isabel and the rest of the cousins. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Joe & Sandy,
I was sorry to see your Mom had passed away. She was such a classy lady. Always kind and gentle and a joy to wait on. She will be missed but not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Trudy
