Helen was lovely to my family and we enjoyed having she and AnnMarie as neighbors.
Helen was so brave when she took a bunch of us dirty, unruly kids on a day trip swimming and to the ground round. We rode in her very cool T Top car with white leather seats. No one ever did such a nice and certainly brave thing.
She will be missed. Love Catherine O’Neill O’Toole

Dear Ann Marie, Peggy and family,
We want to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of Helen. She was such a grand lady. The three Donovan sisters -- how we loved hearing your stories. We enjoyed the few times we were able to spend with Helen during her visits to Illinois. Sending our love.
