Helen Frances Lorenzen
I have so many fond memories of Helen, she was such a caring & thoughtful person. When I was a child I looked forward to Christmas Eve at my grandparents house because I knew Helen would be bringing Santa with stocking full of peanuts and fruit. I enjoyed spending time talking with her about our Russian heritage, she had a cat Mishka which is "Mouse" in Russian i found to be so creative She will be missed & never forgotten

Please accept the sincere sympathy of Helen's Masonic sisters from the Beauceant. I remember when she was able to attend, and remember her wonderful personality. Mrs. Alan Lavonne Portzline Recorder, Cedar Rapids Assem. #87 Social Order of the Beauceant

Aunt Helen will be truly missed. I spent time with her and Uncle Fred during many of my childhood weekends. While Uncle Fred was making balloon animals and teasing me about my freckles, Aunt Helen was cooking, laughing and adoring her cats. Even when she could no longer write Christmas cards, I knew they were her words. She was truly a special woman, someone young girls could look up to. She will always be in our hearts and we will never forget her. With all my love, Beth Lorenzen Gambel

Our condolences to the family. Helen & Fred were friends of Dad. Uncle George served in the army with Fred. I remember their visits to our farm. After one visit, two farm cats became spoiled city cats.
