Cindy and family,
I don't know if you remember me but my mother Mary was a friend of Helen's. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere condolences.

I know I have pictures somewhere of Helen and my mom taking me and my friend to Busch Gardens when I was a kid. Your mom was always so kind and when my mother was ill with dementia she came over with a KFC meal for all of us to enjoy. So very thoughtful!

May she rest in peace.
