You are my oldest and dearest friend! You were the spark that got things going in any group.You introduced me to the Irish dancers at McInnitys---the wonderful people who then became my friends.

Our hearts are saddened at the passing of one of our dearest members a friends. Helen was truly a strong and delightful presence in our group and actually the whole area fellowship. So very supportive and active until having to move back to New York. Words cannot in anyway express our loss and how much she will be missed. She was truly loved by one and all. God bless her memory forever.

I hadn't seen Helen in years, but I remember times we shared. My twin sister and I were in the Ladies Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the !980's and frequented Irish societies' events through the years. My husband, now retired, had worked at Monroe County and used to bring home information passed to him from Helen about upcoming Irish events.

I extend my deepest condolences to Helen's family. You and Helen will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very saddened by the passing of Helen. Helen was a more than wonderful lady, who's joy readily spread out of her big Irish heart to all who knew her. I'll miss seeing her out and about and l'd say hello to her and she would say, in her marvelous Irish accent, "Hello love. It's so good to see 'ya!" Rest In Peace Helen
