Helen, we go back a long way, since I was a teenager. Many an evening we spent at the ElDorado Ballroom listening to Charles with Milton Larkins band. I still 'see' you bouncing your head to the beat. You never forgot cause you did the same 'head bounce' to jazz music when your dreadful ailment would let you say only "goody,goody". What great fun we had in the good old days. Bet Charles met you at the gate playing his drums along with Gabriel's trumpet so you could do the two step into the...

Mom, I miss you so much and I can't believe that you have been gone for a month! There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of you. All the good times we had - - from the circus to rock concerts, and from Reno to sleep overs at my house. You were not only my mom, but my best friend. As your disease progressed, I felt as if you became the child I never had and I was the mother. I am so lucky to have spent your last two days on earth with you and to be one of your children at your...

I will always remember Helen as a loving, generous spirit, and a "live life to the fullest" kind of person. We always want more time with loved ones, but since that can't happen now, I'll take some consolation in picturing Helen smiling down at all her family and friends from heaven and wishing us well.
