Helen and I have been special good friends since grade school in Opportunity, WA. We kept track of each other through the years and for several years Helen & Chuck were neighbors of Jim and I in Port Townsend, WA. Chuck has been gone a few years now and we were so sorry to learn that now Helen is gone too.
We miss them both,
Carol & Jim Graybill

At first we were Cedar Hills neighbors of Helen & Chuck, had boys in baseball and basketball and Julie & Alan were playmates in grade school.

Later we were all Blue Goose Insurance members and traveled to conventions together.

Many good memories of family and work, especially where Helen didn't like over ripe bananas, so gave them to Janice to make banana bread, to give back to her.

Helen was my cousin. Her mother was my mother's sister. I had lost contact with her and I am sorry to hear of her passing.
