Helen will be sorely missed, both as a very loving and most thoughtful cousin and as the family historian. She reminded me of my Mother, Helen Moran Burke with whom she had a close relationship. Many a time I received pictures from her of the days when she spent time with our family. Will miss her often. Our sincere sympathy to her family and close personal friends.

Your mother was a lovely lady and a dear friend of my parents. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
