Dear Anthony and Vince:

Expressing sympathy is always difficult. May it help in some way to
know that friends are sharing the sorrow in your heart.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand and comfort you with His everlasting love.

Dear Mary, Anthony and Vincent,
My mom was just telling me a story a few weeks ago of how Aunt Helen wanted a new dress for she was going out with Uncle Anthony, my mom and dad, so she took out this gold sequin dress and shoes she had only worn once (Remember it was the 60's then) and spray painted them Black. My mom said she looked so good and your dad was like "Did you go out and buy a new dress"?
You know how men are if women buy anything new!
I loved growing up next to you all and having Aunt Helen in my life, her laugh and zest for life was always so classic! Her White convertible Eldorado with Chi Chi sitting in the front seat was always just her, of course sometimes we could not tell if it was Chi Chi driving or your mom because they both had the same hair!
I Love you all and know how sad it is to lose a parent. My mom sends her love and is so sad as does Linda; LeeAnn we have been unable to reach since she is in the Caribbean vacationing, she will be heart broken to learn of her God Mothers passing and unable to attend todays wake.
All my love to your families from ours.
