Anne Helman

Memories of Anne will always be cherished and I am so very happy that we crossed paths through our ovarian cancer connections. I had kept the last voice mail message which I had received from Anne, not being able to bear deleting it. It seems somehow disloyal or maybe a finality, although I am not sure this describes how I feel. Today, I deleted that message, but not of course the value of the friendship and acquaintance. Fond memories remain.

May your memories of Anne as the vibrant and enthusiastic woman she was be ever cherished. We talked several times after her diagnosis, fellow travellers with ovca, and her hopefullness was always encouraging. She was gone all too soon.

Dear Jon and Family,

I am an on line friend of Anne. We have emailed to each other in recent 2-3 months. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I am very impressed with Anne’s knowledge, effort and compassion for ovarian cancer patients. It is my loss too for a dear friend.

We send our deepest sympathy to the Helman Family. It was always a joy to experience her creative and energetic presence. During her more recent visits it was her indominable spirit and strength that truly inspired us.

Dear Helman Family,

I had the pleasure of meeting Anne at my friend Pat Eynon's 50th birthday party. What an incredible, special person. My love and prayers are with you.

Dear Jon and Family;
I am also one of the very fortunate many who came to know Anne through our ovarian cancer on line network (ACOR). With this was the subsequent pleasure of meeting Anne face-to-face. I was so very impressed and appreciative when Anne set up her foundation in support of ovarian cancer women. It was a further confirmation of what I have known Anne to be, albeit in a short period of time. Her graciousness and her giving for others while indeed facing her very own...

Dear Jon,
I am so sorry to hear about Anne's death. I haven't seen either of you in quite a while but have vivid memories of Anne's energy, warmth and humor.
With much affection, Ann Vershbow

Jon,
Are thoughts are with you and your family at this most difficult time.
We have fond memories of Anne, on sunny days, enjoying the "Feld/Stone" pool.

Our best,
Jack Corman and Sara Deitch

I live in Needham and have known Anne for a long time...... Met her at a craft show and of course liked her immediately..... You have my sincere sympathy. I will treasure all my pins that Anne made for me by hand of course..... She was a wonderful person and I am glad I had a chance to meet her, talk with her and share with her..... Louise Chapman
