A long hard struggle has come to its end,
the eternal reward most certainly earned.
It is never easy to lose the one who knew you first,
but even as she is mourned by her children, grand children,
family and friends, she would tell us all to hug those you
hold dear, for life is sweet, beautiful and all too short.
Be quick to smile, laugh and forgive.
Share a joke, lend an ear, and break bread
as often as you can.

She was preceded in death by her husband,
Waclaw (Wally) M. Margol, and is survived by her children
Thomas (Chris) Margol, Janine (Brad) Hepfner,
Vincent (Tracy) Margol, Christoper Margol,
Laura (Joseph) Newman, and her grandchildren
Michael Margol, Hailey (Geoffrey) Herndon, Emiley Hepfner
Alexander Margol, Nicholas Margol, Elizabeth Margol,
and Benjamin Newman.

Helen made many friends over the years, too many to
name, both in Metro Detroit, where she was born and
lived for many years, and in Fremont, where she and
Wally moved when they retired. Helen’s last years were
spent in a wonderful home, surrounded by new friends
and wonderful caregivers, at Grace Valley in Kalamazoo.
The love, care and compassion she received will stay
with us always, as will the love she had for us all.
