Helen was one of my mom (Jose petree heath) closest friends. We all loved her and I will always remember how the two of them dressed up so fancy and all the fun we shared. I loved hearing her play the piano. Lots of good memories and I know they're together now. I am heartbroken!
So sorry Yvonne, Rick and all the family.
