I just learned today of Helene's passing. I knew Helene while she worked for PMA, as I am part of the Two Chatham Center Management team. Such a lovely, friendly and all around good person. Prayers to her family and friends during this difficult time.

Dear Blough Family and Friends,
I had the pleasure of working with Helene at PMA. Helene trained me to be her replacement when she retired in July of 2013. I was so sad to see her retire - I thought she had a few more years in her since she was still going strong at 69. She had a visual youthfulness to her and treated herself well. We were extremely shocked to learn of her passing - I still cannot wrap my head around it. It had been some time since we had talked. The last time we talked, she was busy getting her bathroom remodeled, enjoying her walking and going to church-which she did daily at work despite any type of weather outside. Although Helene was on the quiet side, she had given me quite a few laughs over the years. I loved it when she referred to a nice looking man as a "hunk". We laughed numerous times over the fact that vendors could not pronounce her name correctly and she never minded. She amazed me that at 69 and even before that she cut her own lawn and shrubs. I pray that she is at peace and enjoying herself in the afterlife. She was truly a wonderful person in life and she will be greatly missed by me.

Family and friends of Helene, I had the great pleasure of working with Helene for several years at PMA Companies in Pittsburgh. It is rare to meet a person who was as kind and sweet as Helene always was to me! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My condolences to the Blough family for your loss. May God's Word and loyal love comfort you at this time (Psalm 136:23). No doubt that she will be missed by many.
