Dear Jack,
Helen, as you know, was one of Ginger's and my closest friends in our youth. Time and circumstances have a way of separating us, but not the memories! She was loyal, talented and fun. Helen introduced me to many things: tap dancing (she taught Ginger and me), ballet, cheerleading (if not for her I'd never have thought of it), singing (forget it!), and boy friends! I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. I send a big, warm hug to all of you. With deepest sympathy, Elaine Ruggieri
