A beautiful Woman from the inside to the outside
We just received a letter from Henry that was sent to our MA address and just now found us in Florida which gave us the news of Helen's passing.
We met Helen and Henry when we purchased our condo at Star Ridge soon after they were built.
It was our fortunate privilege to be able to call them friends. We cannot say enough about them they have it all, honesty, loyalty, compassion, intelligence and a lot of humor. They were role models for us and although we were separated by age we hung out and had a lot of good fun. Some of our best years.
Henry wrote me a short letter and ask me to call, 781-395-7473. Phone keeps ringing. Henry would love to talk please send the best time to call.
Our email: [email protected]
We love you both
Rick & Dianne
