Helen Otillie Bolstad
(1918 - 2009)

I remember on my very first job with Boeing, not having much of anything to start, Helen took me in for a few months until I was able to afford it on my own. She did this even with having all her kids home, she still found room. I remember her good cooking and deserts she would always make. Helen was such a gracious, caring person. She can be described by all the good words a person can possibly think of. She will certainly be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

I love you all very much, I always remember Granny Helen telling me how big and beautiful I was getting, and all that jazz, she knew flattery and she knew it well, I'll miss her beautiful smile and her kind and loving heart.

It is so hard to say good-bye to someone so loved! I have lost my dear sister Helen, but somethings never leave us! Fond memories, shared laughter, a bond of love and closeness. So much to say good-bye to...so much to be thankful for. You will be with me always!

My Darling Mother,you precious Angel, when you left this world to receive your Crown In Heaven it left a huge hole in my heart. You are everything to me, my yesterday today and tomorrow. Because of you and your unwavering faith in Jesus Christ as the guiding light, I learned what's at the heart of a good life; love family and lifetime friends. Those things are true and lasting! It is what makes us strong and helps us in our journey through life. Thank you Mother for your unconditional Love that created a strong bond in our relationship. You are the epitome of 1Corinthians 13. You will always be the "Love Of My Life".....You are my Rock!

I loved granny more then anything! I will hold on and cherish the most amazing memories made with her. Home made pancakes with rasberry yami yougurt, always having PB captian crunch (my fav) at her house when growing up. We also had our own little tradition, she would save the wish bones out of any chicken she cooked and safe them in the window ledge in the kitchen for when I came over. I have a HUGE hole in my life with her gone that never will be filled again, but Granny I know you are in a better place taking care of the most wonderfull garden and baking all the BEST cookies! I love you more then the moon and stars! Love Jamie "DOO"

One of the cutest things she used to do is to stand on the front porch watching leave...A lot of the times it was risky business backing out onto Fruitland Ave safely, traffic could be fast and furious...she would stand there no matter the weather outside and wave, smile and blow kisses ...till you were gone. I treasured that soooo much!

The Queen- Helen was so adorable and fiesty. I always enjoyed my visits with her. She will be greatly missed. No doubt she impacted many lives for the better. I will never forget her strong hugs. She was a precious lady. I am so very sorry for your loss. I am grateful the Lord had our paths cross. May she rest in peace. Amen. Peace and comfort to her family and friends.

I am so glad I got to see Aunty Helen in December. I will remember her always she was a special person anyone who met her would say the same. She will be missed by all of us terribly.
Hugs and Kisses to all my cousins who are saddened by her passing.

What a special Lady that will be missed by all! Helen always made us feel so special whenever we seen her, we Loved being with her. She always had a smile and a twinkle in her beautiful eyes.
Heaven certainly has gained a special Angel! Our Love for the whole Family.

No words can express The Love Helen had for us all young and old .She never ever thought of herself .God was short of an Angel,, so she was needed in Heaven .I can hear her say Here I am Father what can I do to help.You will be in my Heart for ever.
