We were so sad to hear of the passing of our dear neighbor, Helen. We will always remember her gardening in the yard with her two dogs close by. She was a kind, friendly person who we will always remember so fondly.
Sincerely,
The Darrell Family

I'm sorry to hear that Nana has passed on. My sympathies to all of the family.
I remember when Bobby and I were first dating Nana took us to a dinner dance at the polish club. We watched her and Grandpa Joe dance the night away - they were quite a pair. She was a wonderful woman and will be remembered with much love.
