Dear Helen was a great friend to my mother and me. We used to go to the St. Elizabeth Hospital Champagne Luncheons for years because Helen and Loretta invited us.She visited my mother many times when she was in assisted living before she passed away. She was a beautiful, holy person who will always be a light in my memory.

Love from your cousin,
