My thoughts and prayers go out to Helen's family. We were classmates in West Springfield for several years and she was a dear friend. May she rest in peace.

Helen was kind, sweet, generous, loving and caring. She always had a mischievous sparkle in her eyes that said she was readily up for fun. She was a loving Mom. I remember how she told me she used to put notes and cards in Chrissy's school lunch..."have a great day," "you're special," "love you." I'm sue she is doing the Polka at a party in heaven and if there is no party she will start one!

Dear Eddie and Family,
We are heartbroken about Helen's passing. We were praying for her. Helen had a good heart, and thankfully, she knew that life is about caring for others and sharing good times. Everyone who knew Helen was better for having known her. Our deepest sympathies to you Eddie, Chrissy, and Graham, as well as to Laura, Irene, Phyllis, Richie and Ann, Eddie and Linda, Catherine and Ray, and all Helen's nephews, nieces, and friends. God bless you.

To Eddie and Family,
I just learned of your wife's death. I personally know how hard it is to lose your spouse; and how hard for your children too. I wish I had words of comfort that would help; just know you are thought of at this time and will be remembered in my prayers. I'm not sure if you remember me, I'm Paul Kuraitis' cousin Lorraine Gust. Knew your family from years ago. Again, please accept my condolences.
