I write extending my sincere condolences to family and friends of Mary Helen.

I only met Mary Helen once at her fabulous restaurant. Her food, service and atmosphere was extraordinary. I did know her mother, Mrs. Thomas, as an educator in my earlier days in school.
I extend my sincere condolences to each of the family members. May your fond and unlimited memories of Mary Helen bring you smiles and peace.
Be blessed and encouraged.
