Dear Karen, Toddy, and Mary, I am sorry to hear of Aunt Helen's death. Many fond memories float through my head of growing up with your and my families so connected. Uncle Tommy fixing the electrical outlet in our front parlor. Auntie Helen, always with a mischifious smile on her lovely face, and a comical story to accompany it! Although life has set us apart in our different directions, the kindness and love your parents never failed to make me feel, will stay forever in my heart. With fond regards, Mary Daley Pollander

To The Dukeman Family,
I have such wonderful memories of Helen. These memories go back to the 1960's when Helen, Barbara C., Edna P., Miggie S., and my mother Barbara Whitney got together once a week for "Club". I absolutly loved Helen's humor, joy and wonderful outlook on life, including her huge love for her family. I'm sure she will be missed terribly by you all, but it has to be comforting knowing she was loved by so many. My sincere condolence.
