Aunt Helen was a special person, I'll always remember her as she's pictured here, smiling and happily bouncing to the music she created, often with Uncle Andy accompanying her on violin. I enjoyed many childhood holidays with her and her family. I'm glad she can be with Andy once again.

Helen's music and memory will forever live on at the Cultural Center. Helen was an incredible organist, and for many years, she shared her talents during Fun with Music. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I did not know or have ever met Helen Magar, but I feel as if I had. Jack told us about her and just knowing Jack is the best way of knowing and appreciating her life contributions. Since knowing part of her family has been a window and reflection of her. Our prayers are to the family. Jean and Jerry Wessel
