Helga was a member of our Wednesday Volunteers at Neighbor to Neighbor (8:30 AM to 12:30 PM) we shared many stories & laughs as we unpacked and folder the donations. Helga was my team mate on folding & marking Sheets  and shared the correct  & easy way to fill the Duvets.  Helga was outgoing and a joy to be with, filling our lives with so much happiness.  Helga remembered I had a passion for Lighthouses & would always send me a postcard or something relating to Lighthouses,  that I cherish.  God Rest my NtN friend.
I shared many a hike with Helga in the Sierras, and was honored to have known her.  she was a lively, bright and fun companion.  She will be missed by her many friends and family.

Helga was a lovely friend and associate. She kept us on our toes at Chanticleer Press, and kept us in touch with each other after Chanticleer ended and we went our various ways by inviting us to get together on many occasions at the Met. Her energy will be missed.

Memento (Mascha Kaléko)

Vor meinem eignen Tod ist mir nicht bang,Nur vor dem Tode derer, die mir nah sind.Wie soll ich leben, wenn sie nicht mehr da sind?

Allein im Nebel tast ich todentlangUnd laß mich willig in das Dunkel treiben.Das Gehen schmerzt nicht halb so wie das Bleiben.

Der weiß es wohl, dem gleiches widerfuhr;– Und die es trugen, mögen mir vergeben.Bedenkt: den eignen Tod, den stirbt man nur,Doch mit dem Tod der andern muß man leben.

Dear Renata,

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We always enjoyed seeing both of you when you came to the Bay Area and visited us in San Francisco.

Best wishes,

Inge and David

Helga and Renate were my “sisters” when I became a member of the Lose family as an exchange student from California in the summer of 1960. Helga’s passing affects me deeply as were I a blood brother. Rest in peace, dear sister. Love, Norm

Renata,

Your loss is terribly painful.In the coming days you will feel the emptiness and void Helga left you with.What good memories  she left all of us with!You need patience, faith and stoicism to overcome your grief, and you have all of that.You have also us, all your friends who are here for you when needed.

It seems that  death is hovering around . Yesterday the 19th I lost a nephew, My brother's son passed.  He was 42. He went to bed the night before.Next morning his mother found   him dead in his bed.

Death is  nothing  but  an episode,  the liberation of the soul from  the body and a travel in the  unknown.

May be Helga is watching . I am sure she misses us as much we miss her.

LIEBE RENATA

WIR TRAUERN MIT DIR UND ES WIRD UNMOEGLICH SEIN, SIE AN DEINER SEITE ZU ERSTZEN, ABER WIR HATTEN ,WENN AUCH NUR WENIG UND IN LANGEN JAHREN EHER SELTEN, FREUDIGE UND SCHOENE STUNDEN MIT EUCH BEIDEN VERBRACHT.

DIE WERDEN IN ERINNERUNG BLEIBEN.

BLEIB NOCH LANGE GESUND UND VERLIERE NICHT DEN KONTAKT, WENN DU MAL IN UNSERER NAEHE BIST.

LOVE

ISOLDA UND HANS

KARIN WAERE AUCH SEHR TRAURIG, SIE IST ABER SCHON VORHER GEGANGEN.

Helga lived a life with the understanding that to give is to receive - and that is wonderfully reflected in the fullness of hers - from seeing live the Beatles 1st U.S. performance in her 20's- to hiking the Tyrolean Dolomites in her 80's...she always had an amazing positive energy in all she did.  Along with thoughts and giving for and to others.

What a legacy....and lesson.   Carry on.  And Renata likewise.

Renata,

So sorry to hear about Helga's passing.  You two have been such longtime friends of the Astronomical Society  and it was always great to see you, not just at our lectures, but at all the other activities you participated in!

With love from Anne Burns and all the astronomers

Dear Renata, am so very sorry for your loss. Helga was such a bright spark, always interested whenever I saw her,  asking what was happening in the Middle East and seemed to enjoy hearing my stories. Helga enjoyed the picnics we all joined in at Tods Pt or attending the Shakespeare festival and the walks for Abilis.

My condolences to you for the loss of this wonderful woman , sister and friend of a lifetime! I am so sorry to read this post and so saddened by her loss.  You 2 have been my patients for so many years and we always laughed about how difficult it was at time to remember who was who!
