Hi "Cousins"
I can't believe it has been a year already! Think of Helen often as I know you must, but I know she and my mom are watching over us. Would love to hear from you and see some of those pictures of my mom and Helen. Lost your contact info.

Helen and Vin were longtime friends of my mom and dad. I will always remember our fun visits especially to the "store". After my mom died, Helen and I would visit and chat about the many trips she and my mom shared and what fun they had. It was so special for me.

Amazing! I can't believe that I called Helen on Tuesday to "schedule" a visit not knowing that Helen was already with her beloved Vin and my mom again.

Such a LADY!

And, yes the best Christmas Cards with perfect penmanship!

Love you Helen.....

We will always have fond memories of Aunt Helen and Uncle Vince. They were very special people of great class and dignity.

We will miss trading Christmas cards with Helen.
