Dear Sister Sheila, Four plus months later, we all are still thinking frequently of him and what a great guy he was. I love you Sheila. I know that you know that, but please, please, call me if I can do anything for you. I feel very helpless. We need to have some more time laughing, enjoying family gatherings, lifting each other up. You have done it many times for me, I want to be there for you. We need to be silly together, get lost on our way to anywhere.

One more thing I might add for those Who are here for the popularity contest. This doesn't mean attack Sheila she has lost something very valuable to something that can't be replaced apperantlly you sorry ass's don't understand that and have never loved anyone but your all high and mighty self. If Sheila is confronted one more time about this I will take it as a personal attack and deal with it my way. I'm ashamed of all of u your no family your a bunch of pains in the ass. To contact me plz check my last posting with deep hatred Greg have a great life and don't forgets. In your obituary plz remember me I want everyone to know I'm related to asstards!!!

Funny...I've been on this earth nearly 35 years, and I haven't a clue as to WHO Elizabeth Jennings France is! For that reason ALONE,you have NO right saying what YOU think my Dad would feel OR think. Dad didn't want an obituary AT ALL...and NOW I know WHY! Wanna talk about "hurtful"?? How about having my Dad's "family" criticize, obsess & complain about an obituary & post this garbage on his message board...meanwhile, WE are the ones who have lost and INCREDIBLE Father! THAT is hurtful! And while YOU many think there was "not much thought" put into this obituary...there WAS alot of LOVE put into it. Apparently, there was alot of THOUGHT and not much LOVE put into the ones complaining deciding NOT to show up at his memorial. I wrote this obituary, with the help of my other grieving siblings. Sincere apologies have been made to his brother & sisters who had the courtesy to call. I DO KNOW one thing my Dad WOULD say about this is to leave Sheila alone about it. So, here is my email...Hezzer75@aol.com. Any further complaints can come to me. Also, Greg has offered his email as a way to respond with complaints as well. Helmbelm2@msn.com. Remember, we are grieving an INCREDIBLE loss. Left to figure out how to go on without such a precious person in our lives...so, please, save your petty discussions for your next "family" get together...there is a time and place for everything. "Please do not take offense to this I just needed to tell someone how I felt." PS "his children" are ALL offended by YOUR lack of discretion. Pass it along. Sincerely, Heather Helmick Sine Greg Helmick (by request) Jeff Helmick (by request)

Shelia, we are so sorry to hear of Obie's passing. I know he loved you very much, as he loved his whole family. We are glad he didn't suffer for a long, long time. We weren't close over the years, but I have memories of when he was small and he was the cutest little thing. He, Bill and my two brothers left no stone unturned. They were all boys. Bill was very upset when he received the news. I am sorry his children left Bill, Helen, Bean and JoAnn out of the obituary,that was very hurtful. He was also, preceded in death by his brother Keith, Nancy and Jean and there was no mention of them. Not much thought was put into this obituary and Mommy was no longer a Helmick and hadn't been for many, many years. She was a Jennings. Please do not take offense to this I just felt I needed to tell someone how I felt. I am not alone. I am sure Obie would have been upset too. No matter what our family is they are still our famiy. I am glad I got to meet you in Aug of 2008. we did have fun that day. I hope I get to see you again sometime, if you don't mind. Love and best wishes, Obie's step-sister Liz

Remembering you Dad, From the many things you taught me about life, to the millions of great times and laughter we shared. I still remember many hours you spent playing catch in the backyard, taking Jeff and I to Marilla ball field to try to knock that popcorn box over. "Low and outside!" you would say. Many batters were struck out with that pitch! I know you really enjoyed watching and I know I enjoyed having you watch. Not a day went by when I didn't want to grow up and be YOU!!! The relationship we had can never be replaced, Dad. From the many hockey trips, to fishing trips...OOPS, last trip we took, we went to Gandy and got covered up in snow. What a GREAT time John (Fuzzy) and I had with you. DAD, you are the greatest! All of my friends wished you were their Dad! You touched so many peoples lives, Dad. I am so proud to be your son. I don't know how I will get past this...never getting to rely on you for strength, courage, understanding, and most of all unconditional love. You're the man I always wanted to be. I have a little piece of you now Dad. I'm so lucky I can play the role of being you...something I can only hope to live up to. Those are some really big shoes to fill, but I will be fine, I had a great teacher. It really hurts that you'll never be able to physically set in the bleachers with me and cheer Garrett on. However, I know you'll be there watching every inning, every quarter, or his first fish. I will never forget all the great times. I only wish we had time for more. NEVER REPLACED NEVER FORGOTTEN. Cheers to you Dad! You will be greatly missed.

Heather, I know its been really rough for you the past couple months or so. I want you to know that I'm always thinkg of you. I miss seeing your beautiful face around the office, but I know you needed to be with your dad. You're such an incredible, strong woman, and I know this experience is tough, but it will make you stronger. Even when you don't feel like you are that strong and you feel like all you can do is fall, just remember you have all of us here supporting you and thinking of you. I miss you tons, and I hope everything is alright, well as much as it can be that is. Keep your head up and remember that you have all of us to lean on anytime and we are all here for you. I miss you and love you very much. I wish I could be as strong as you, wheather you see how strong you are or not. You are a very strong person. If you ever need me, you know how to get ahold of me.

Sheila, You know I will miss him. You and he were always there whenever I needed you--for whatever reason. Obie's advice was always sound--I especially am thankful for the trip you both made to PA to buy a car for Nicolette at the auction and his good advice on that. It was a beautiful car. I love you and want to help you in whatever way I can.

Grandpa was always there for everyone. He was definately one of the strongest people I've ever known. He was one of those people I could just never imagine not having in my life. He was always someone willing to help anyone. He had so many people that held him so close. I really don't know how I'm gonna go on living knowing he's not just in the garage when i can't find him in the house.

To Obed's family: I only remember him through other family members. We know what you have all experienced as we have also had family members with cancer who are now with our Lord. Think of him being well and enjoying his fishing and those who have gone before. From reading others responses, I see that he was a beloved person and a great family man.Hold good memories in your hearts and live as he would want you to live. So sorry we lost contact and did not get to know each of you better. I am half sister to all the Wyer children and hope to continue the contacts I have made. God's blessings and comfort to you each one.
