Your boys are Blake, a Marine (radar tech.), deploying to Japan on the 26th; Ryan, an electrician, installing wafer lights in our parlour reno (he´s been to Reno); Jokton, father of three, is in London playing pinball? Your sense of adventure is guiding the ship. You see these blankets, my dear? Afghan made by Angela Maher, chenille quilt made by you. The memories and you, still keeping me warm.

Helen, You will always be one of my best friends. Think of you often and all the Helen and Go adventures you took me on. Most especially, I appreciate your kindness during my difficult time at WB; just seeing you for a second made me feel better. Still love the apartment you found for me.
Miss you deeply.

You still come to me in dreams, and I appreciate your help. I need it very much right now. I imagine your light shining even up there in Heaven, outshining the surroundings. You are still a role model for me. Your directness, and sweetness, all coming together at the same time. Thank you for loving me.

I have you in my heart and mind; I can't believe it's been so long since we had our home in Massapequa Park, and were looking forward to retirement and travel. Well, you are still guiding me. And doing a good job of it. You taught me how to be a better person.

Helen is the kindest, generous person that I know. She has become a dear friend. Always there to lend a helping hand. She never minced on words either; always direct and honest. I will treasure her always. Helen, you will always be in my heart and memories.

Sweet Helen, it's been just about a year and you are still thought of often. I've said it before and I'll say it again...you were the best one of our generation. Maybe that is why God took you first.

Helen was amazingly kind and sweet and always welcomed me into her home she shared with Go. It is a huge loss for the world to be without her but I have faith that she is taking care of business in heaven just like she did on earth...We will see you again soon.

I still cannot get used to you not being here. I seem to wait for you to appear. I speak to you and feel comforted. Even after a wonderful summer, I wonder how I can enjoy or craft my life without you, Helen. You were and still are my shining star.

Too much to give up. I feel scattered all apart, and yet all the pieces combining with pieces of you, and I wait for them all to come back together, to see what, and who remains. Thank you for the five. I had no idea. I was sure it could never work.

A year ago today was your last day at home. I still feel your presence, though. Thank you for working so hard to stay as long as you could. I cherished every moment to the very last and will "until forever." Your intelligence, love, energy, light and laughter will always be with me.

Thought of you and Go this weekend as I put the beautiful bib you gave for my first grandson- the one that says "Grandma loves me" on my second baby grandson. You have always been so thoughtful! I will always cherish it because it came from you both!
Love from your cousin

Dear Helen,
You were and always will be a wonderful pal. As I sit in my new apartment that I know you found for me, I think of all the fun visits with you and Go. Miss you and think of you often, of your kindness and generosity and easy going spirit. You'll always be a part of my life.

My darling Helen. Nothing means anything without you. Yet I try to channel your sweet energy here in the family Christmas festivities. You would love to watch the boys playing with their new gifts. And they would be so happy if you were here. You always added the spice to the season. I will keep trying but I just keep imagining how it would be if we could see your smile and get your wonderful kisses and hugs. I love you

Helen,
I miss you so much. I still can't believe your gone. I won't be getting my happy birthday phone call on Christmas Eve from you but I will remember you not only at this holiday season but every day of the year. Merry Christmas to my favorite cousin. I love you forever.

Dear Helen, When I think of you I can't help but smile and think of what a wonderful, kind and caring human being you have always been. Always the first person to be there for family or friend with whatever anyone needed. You would make an extra effort to be sure to come to our family parties, because you always had a strong sense of family. I fondly recall our visits to Pacific Street and you would greet us outside the car with your gun and holster cowgirl set. You were always so cute and we all loved you. I remember the card games and know that you are now allowed to play cards with the uncles. God Bless you.
Love,
your cousins,
Mary Ellen and Chris

My dear Helen, I will never forget all my visits to Time Warner, and the fun sharing printing problems. I was so proud when you decided to go into printing during your college days. Your success at Warner proved to me that you knew you made the right career decision. I will always love you, and keep you in my heart until I meet with you again and talk about printing. Big Love type-hi, thank you for sharing a common bond

Helen, you were my hero, as sick as you were you still went to New York and got the Donny Osmond autograph I wanted so bad.We had alot of fun in Seattle when you and my Auntie Go where here. You introduced me to Creme Brul'ee at Fishermans terminal. I only wished I had made it to New York for you to show Me around town. Thanks for keeping my Auntie Go happy for so many years.
