Joan, Patty, Mary Lou, and the Mc Donough
boys:

I am so so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. She put up a valiant fight over this cursed disease. I'm glad that I helped with some of her trips to the hospital for treatments. We talked a lot about growing up in the 'POINT. She is no longer in pain, but finally at peace with your Mom & Dad.
May she rest in peace. Amen

I look at your picture and see a woman who ive know since i was a kid. Always happy even in her darkest day's. She is a hero. She fought the fight like many others but helen was truly my inspiration. We had breast cancer together andwe would sit on the stairs and talk about our journey. Only people like us who been there. Helen was up beat all the time about it. But her fight took another toll. This time she was facing the biggest fight of her life. She fought till the end. I will alway remember her attitude etched in my head. Sue im gonna die just like that i said helen there is always new medicine she said im going to bingo. Thats the fighter in her. But god new there wasnt a cure for her and took her out of her pain. Now she will be with her parents and friends on the other side. Sincerely Susan
