Dear Family. I was very shocked to see the announcement of herHelen's passing in our local newspaper. I am an oldtime friend from back in the late 50's early 60's from Middletown, NY. I have looked for Helen several times on internet, etc, but to no avail. I would like to hear from someone to let me know about Helen, I am very interested. Thank you Nancy [email protected]
