George, Jon & Family,
I am saddened to learn of Helene’s passing. My thoughts take me back to earlier times when I first met Helene. I was part of the Loud Crowd of Kids walking to Holy Family via Banner Way.
I will pray for you, the family and Helene. Rest assured, she is with your Mom and Dad smiling down at you with Jesus, Holy Mary and St. Joseph at their side.

A loving memory of a wonderful kind friend and travel buddy. It was so good to reminisce sitting on the rocking chairs talking about all the good trips and places we visited. Rest in peace after your long struggle. God Bless until we meet again.
