Dear Lil and family,
I was so upset and sad that I had not known about Helen's passing. I get only the Sunday Enquirer and depend upon someone from Choir calling me. Usually it will be Lil but she was not feeling too great at the time and had so much on her plate. Helen will be sorely missed by Lll - they were so close and where one went the other was right besides her. It will be very quiet in that house now. There was always laughter, and if you paid attention, you would catch Helen chuckling about something she or Lil added in to a story they were carrying on, maybe earlier. She made me smile. Cookie making will be another reminiscing
event. God Bless you and those who knew her.

Dear Lil, So sorry to hear about your lovely sister passing. Helen was determined and did not let adversity get in her way. This lady was not only beautiful on the outside but, also on the inside. I thank her for all her work on our class reunion. It was behind the computer that made the difference. Please reach out to your many friends for help or just to talk. We will all have a hole in our hearts that will never be healed. Love.

Helen was a great lady. She devoted her life to helping others. The Pater's were our neighbors for many years and great people. May she be in the "Palm of His Hands". RIP Helen.
