My deepest condolences to Gordon and the family. I was fortunate to be raised as a neighbor of the Murley family. Helen was always such a wonderful classy lady. She was always upbeat and a wonderful friend of our family. God bless you Helen.
Gordon and family, I was so blessed to be raised just a door down from you all. Helen always was so caring and loving to all us neighborhood kids. She was like a mother to us all. She was so good to my parents after I left Pueblo and then when my dad was on his last days at Parkview she was with our family everyday to the end making sure he was taken cared of and of course the rest of the family. She was one of a kind and she was an angel on earth and now in heaven. I do regret I didn’t get to see her before her passing. I have just recently moved back to Pueblo to retire and I was hoping to go see Gordon and Helen, but found out she was in hospice. Helen thank you for being such a loving and caring lady. God bless you Gordon, Jeff, Mark, Kevin and rest of family.
My dear friend I will miss you until we meet again.
So very sorry for your loss. Helen was so sweet, kind and caring. She will truly be missed. Love to all
