I have only spoken to Mr. Helwig one time when traveling with Michael. So my connection here is with Michael and Mary Pat. I can only imagine how wonderful of a man he was by the character of his children, and they are golden. I have been saying many prayers for my best friend and his family.

I just wanted to say is that I never really met Mr. Helwig but I know him thru his daughter Jo Ellyn who I love like a sister. I just could imagine the love and support Jo ellyn must of giving her because she is the nicest person I ever met and they say the person is what her parents have thought her. Well Jo Ellyn I wanted you to know that I will always be here for you. Take care of your Mom and yourself.



Love Always,

Ivonne & Family.
