I met Helen when I was just a 12 yr. old girl & I lived on North Main Street. She was always looking out for me ( I think checking up) and also eventually I would stop by with my own children to trick or treat. I also always recieved a yearly Christmas card until a couple of years ago. I will miss her dearly and I am sorry for your loss. I will always remember her.
