I have had Helen's picture near my desk since she passed. I miss my friend, former neighbor & confidante every day, more than words could express. I visit you, Fred & others often. God blessed me when you came into my life. See you on the other side.

To George, Cathy and the Cogan Family,

I remeber your mom & sister as a wonderful, loving person. She really took good care of your family no matter how she felt. I know you miss her, but she will always be with you in your hearts. So just remember the good times. I will. Like the Saturdays nights when your mom and dad played Pinochle either at your house or ours. If they played at our house, I was always sent to your house to stay with your guys so that you would not be alone. Your mom made sure there were snacks available while I watched the spooky movies shown on the NY stations. I especially remember the trip to the Philadelphia Zoo for my 13th birthday. We had a lot of fun that day. There was a lot of teasing going on that day because I was finally a Teenager!
Please remember, that she is always near. All you need to do, is think about her and she will help you through any situation that requires a MOM answer. It works for me when I need a DAD answer.
God bless all of you. You are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Miller-Marsh
Blank St. neighbor

Dear Cathy, Carl and Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at the passing of one fantastic and loving woman. I will always remember my friend and former neighbor. Our long talks and our once a week Friday night dinner at the Golden Gate Diner. We were always there for each other anytime day or night. She was so proud of all of you and loved you very much. I always told her she was blessed with a wonderful,close and loving family. She knew it. You made her very happy when you went on trips together. Especially this last one to see her brother John. It meant the world to her. I was honored to know her and to meet some of her wonderful family. I will deeply miss my friend very very much. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
