Paul, Bobby, Bill, Dennis, and Tommy,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I will always remember Aunt Helen as being a happy, caring, and generous person. It was always great being around her. Every time I visit Cape May I think of her, and how she loved it there.
She will be in our prayers.

Paul, Bobby, Bill, Dennis, Tommy & family,

We were sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. What wonderful memories I have of her from the days of Mount Airy and Cape May. She was so proud of her family and was a delightful person who was great to talk with and who made us laugh.

Kathy always felt that your Mom and she were kindred spirits as they shared "the joys" of raising five sons.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Much love,

March 1, 2013

Paul, You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Connie and Carm Sullivan
