Anyone hear from Helen (cordovacollector) lately?

Hey guys, bad news.

In a post, she said she graduated high school in 1971, so 56 is the likely age.

Did someone say she was from Blue Earth?

I sure hope that wasn't her. I just emailed her and it bounced back.

Same thing with me.

I too tried emailing her a few days ago and it bounced back.
She will be missed if this is her. A VERY Nice Lady.

I feel very blue this morning after reading this thread.

It appears we have lost a very wonderful person who happened to be a community member here. Althought I didn't know her, my gut tells me she was a wonderful person. Life is short. Reading such sad news places all the other silly stuff here in very clear perspective.

God bless you Helen, I hope you are with your father again right now.

Well said. If it is true, which appears to the case, we've no doubt lost one of our best and most passionate members.

Go Twins!!!!!!

Really nice woman and a heckuva Twins fan. I only was in touch with her a short time, but I'll miss her as much as I will some of my decade-long friends.

Last time she emailed me, was on Aug 17th., at which she told me she has been "laid low on chemo". Then I emailed her Sept 23rd and never heard anything back.

And yes, she is from Blue Earth.


Was one of the most pleasant people I've talked to. She put a smile on your face just reading a message from her. A super positive person.

Thanks for posting... Its nice to know, even though its horribly sad news.

I echo all the other nice sentiments expressed. She was a gem.

This was my favorite post of Helen's, from this year's D-Day thread...

I know the feeling. Anytime I stand and see the Colors march in - be it a parade or a ballgame - I fight to hold the tears back and wonder if I am the only one.

As a permanent remembrance since the day Dad died, when I stand for the National Anthem, I make it a point every single time to look at the flag and remember him.

The greatest treasure I own is a flag that flew on LST 351 when he served that is tattered and full of shrapnel holes.
