I just learned of Helen's passing. I remember you all very well and how warmly you accepted me into your home. I'll never forget how Helen treated me, she put a smile on my face, made me laugh and treated me as part of the family.
My deepest sympathies to you all. I am so sorry.

My sincere condolences on the loss of Helen. I remember her so well as a child, after church we always went to SunnySide Market, and she was always so cheerful. I loved that tradition of always stopping in there..

So many years ago, I remember Helen and Frank, friendly Mom & Pop at the Sunnyside Market. There were 8 of us kids in our family and we all looked forward to buying penny candy, a real treat. I have very fond memories. On an energetic day, we would walk from Pierce Road, as the Market was a destination! My condolences to Frank and the rest of the family for the loss of Helen. I also have wonderful memories of Noreen while at SW High School...a fabulous English teacher.

I remember Helen and Frank from my high school days...going to Sunnyside Market after school. She always called me " pie face". My brother worked with her years later at Regis. She was such a nice lady .. Treated teens with respect and humor.
