My condolences to all the Balas family on the loss of your beloved mother Helen. I worked with Helen as a former Realtor in Winnipeg. She was an amazing person with so many talents, and was admired by many. Her bubbly personality and high energy was passed on to her beautiful talented daughters. She will be missed.

Hali's was such a positive woman. When you spoke with her she always made you feel good. It didn't matter what you were speaking about. I have fond memories of her back to my child hood. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend on that Thursday evening. But I will be thinking of her and her wonderful family. Joe Strike - Posted by: Joe Strike (Family) on: Mar 06, 2019
