I am so thankful that we were recently able to share very fond memories of our parents, their friendship, and life growing up in Crestwood. Shirley will be sorely missed.

To Mr. Helfrich,Jay, Jan, Jim, Karen, Kenny, and Kevin:
I am so sad to hear about the passing of your mother. I have so many fond memories of her growing up on Twin Vista. She was one of the kindest Mom's we had! I just remember the love she showed to all of us kids when we were both bad and good.
Love to the family,
