| While many of you have never met Helen, she was essential to each us being able to play every Sunday. Helen has been involved in this League longer than any other person (at least 30 years), serving as both Secretary and Treasurer. Her husband Elwin is our President.
Everyone should make an effort to pay their respects on Tuesday and support Elwin and the entire Baxter family.

| Helen was a uniquely beautiful person who was the heart and soul of our league. Most league members dont know of her dedicated work as treasurer and as the pit bull who kept artie in line at meetings. If you had the pleasure of Helen's aquaintance consider yourself honored. If you know one other person in your like Helen consider yourself very very lucky. Our lives were enriched by having her in it and will be diminished with her passing.

| I couldn't agree more with all of the previous posts. Nicely said guys!
To do what Helen did for 30+ years without looking for any recognition, (to me) that speaks volumes to the type of person she was. She ALWAYS had our best interests in mind.
Helen (our league Mom), you will be truly missed!
Elwin, on behalf of all the guys from Chris Moulton Construction, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons during this very sad time.
