Dear Frank and Family,
Jan Kostro called to relay the sad news of
Helen's death. Although it has been many years since we lived in Denver, we still
have fond memories of the good times we
enjoyed with you and other friends back
when we were young. We hurt for you at this most difficult time, but the day will come when sadness gives way to memories of happier times. Until then, we want you to know our thoughts are with
you.

Watching Helen and Frank walk the meadow together near their home for so many years was a tender and loving sight to behold. ~With heartfelt sympathy,
