Q: What will you miss most about Helga?
A: Our family dinners at her house will forever be etched into my mind. I will miss the family conversations I listened to of her and her siblings surviving the war in Germany and the coming to America. I will never forget the Coca-Cola story. You will forever be missed.
Dear Rietz Family,
I was saddened to hear of Helga’s death. My thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time. Most of my memories of Helga are from holidays our families spent together many years ago (late 60s, early 70s). She was a beautiful, kind, loving and generous person. She was interested in others and enjoyed being with family. I can still see her smile and a knowing twinkle in her eye! She will certainly be missed. May you find comfort in your memories and the love she shared. With love, Ellen (Rietz) Fox
I miss you, Mom. You will never be forgotten. I am grateful for all the things you have taught me, and all the sacrifices you have made to provide opportunities for me. I love you lots.

As a childhood friend of Rick’s, I remember Helga being an incredibly sweet and warm person to me and all of Rick’s friends when we visited their home. Rest in Peace.
