Not sure what to say?

It cheers me to recall Helen's and Tom's laughter. I feel grateful to have them as my guardian angels!

My very belated condolences to Helen's family. Back in 1995 I had been searching for a house for 12 years when I met Helen at one of her open houses. She asked me what I was looking for and I told her my wish list. She said, "I'll find you your house." About 6 weeks later she called me, and my husband and I met her at the house. It was the only house she showed us and it became our forever home. She listened intently and when she saw it, she knew who to call. She also had an upbeat, engaging...

Dear Danhankl and other families,
I am sorry for your loss. May her memory be eternal! God bless her and her family.

It was a pleasure knowning Helen through our book group. She was always elegant, confident, and independent. I'll miss her.

I knew her well in 1978-80 at Coldwell Bankeer in Montclair. We called her "wheels" as a nicknmae for her erratic driving skills. I will always cherish her

Dear Jim, John, and Christine, our family will forever remember your mothers happy voice and laughter. I know that my mother and Tom are glad to be reunited with your mother.

With love and Prayers,

Helen was family to me. I will always cherish our Thanksgiving's together. Also I look back on our family trips to La Jolla and Sunriver Oregon and smile. Helen, You never believed me and blamed Christine for tipping your innertube over while rafting. It was I who did it. May you now find peace with Tom up in heaven. Please say hi to mom for me. Love always, Duff

So sorry for your loss. Prayers and thoughts to the family.

Helen was a cherished, vibrant member of our multi-generational neighborhood book club. Her intelligence, wit, and strength of character will remain fresh in my heart. I am so grateful to have known her. I am so sorry for your loss.
