What a mentor. I first met Helen in 1972 when I joined the Bank. I've partied at her home, joined Soroptimist and trained in the Escrow Dept. with her. She always made me strive to do my best. I loved her smile and never tiring drive. I am so glad to have known her.
Helen, was Friendly, Positive, Good Natured and an overall great person. I am so glad to have known and worked with her.
My memories of Helen are all wonderful. She always had a beautiful smile that brightened my day. It was a pleasure to work with her. I am sorry I can not be there because I live in Missouri. My deepest sympathy to the family.
She was such a dear friend from our Family. I have spend many visits which her and my sister Marianne.

I treasured those visits. sometimes my sister Catherine came along too!We will miss her Nancy and Betty!My thoughts and prayers are with you all tomorrow , when the service is for Helen. My sympathy to all the Family with this great loss of your Sister Betty and Nancy and your Family, she was so dear to you all and Like a Mother to your children.

Tuesday, April 22, 2014My late husband, Dail R. Bunch was very found of Helen. Her bright and cheerful nature was a real blessing to all she met and worked with. Dail didn't speak of very many people within the organization but Helen was very special to him. My heartfelt condolences to Helen's family. ~Kathryn Bunch, (Mrs. Dail Bunch)
Although I am sad I will only see her smiling eyes & lips in my memories of Helen instead of here at LVR, I am happy for her that she lived a full life and shared some of it w/me. Although I know Gods everlasting peace will be w/ Helen, may it also be w/her family, specially Betty as they continue their journey on this earth without her…
I had the pleasure of working with Helen for many years at San Diego Trust and Savings. That beautiful smile of hers is what I will always remember. She was always warm and friendly and a good mentor for others. She is someone I always admired.
I met Helen Diekmann at La Vida Real . She was always so joyful and I called her my weather reporter. The last day I saw her I went to say farewell because I know I will see her someday. She was a great sister to Betty . I will miss her a lot as she always put a smile in my face and made my day a better one. For she will never be forgotten. Those we LOve don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.
I had an opportunity to work with Helen and was always impressed with her efficiency and professionalism. She was a kind person and I liked her very much. She will be missed.Brian H. Gowland
