Leona Helmsley

I was very fond of this lady, it still saddens me that she is no longer here. I wish her peace.

As a friend of mine and I stood in front of Mickey Mantle's, on the south side of Central Park, prior to a Yankee game an older lady walked by and my friend said, "hey isn't that Leona Helmsley?" I was busy admiring her dog... Meanwhile, a sightseeing tour bus stopped at the light and people were yelling to Ms. Helmsley. Leona nonchalantly put her arm around Kevin and had her picture taken.

For me a memory that will last a lifetime and for those few.... a picture that says a thousand...

As someone who followed the life and times of Leona Helmsley in the media, as well as reading her biography, I found Mrs. Helmsley as an interesting and unique individual. She also had a good head for business.

To paraphrase, Frank Sinatra,'She Did It Her Way!--Rest In Peace, Leona!

Dear Family,
We are thinking of you and wishing you all the acceptance and peace that only time can bring. Although this is a sad time for all of us left behind, I am sure Leone is elated to be reunited with Harry and Jay! As Leona makes her final journey home, we can remember her years here with all of us and the influence she has had on all of our lives.

Please accept our condolences. We are so sorry for your loss. We enjoyed reading the obituary and getting to know a little bit about this lovely, energetic, giving lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'll be first........Rest in peace.
