To the family of Helen, so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person. I worked with Helen at Hammermill Paper Co. I often think of the great fun we had playing pinochle on our lunch hour and our bingo outings. We kept in touch long after I left the Mill, and met for lunch at the holidays for as long as Helen was able. Sadly, she will be missed.
