Sorry to hear that your mother has passed.

Helen loved life! She absolutely glowed when she sang her favorite song about grandma's rockin' chair. She thrived when engaging with others and being involved with games, crafts, exercise and music. One could depend on Helen's honesty; she was empathetic when appropriate, feisty when necessary, wise when sought out, and always witty.

My heart-felt condolences to her family, especially her daughter-in-law, Pam.

Warmly,
Catherine Carey
