I had the pleasure of seeing Helen and Bob a few times, if lucky, two or three times a year at best. Each time I did I enjoyed the laughter and the wit of both. She will be missed by all who knew her. I consider my self blessed to have known her.

She's the best!

I was not in attendance at the services, however, please know my thoughts and prayers are with Bob and all the family!

With much sadness..
