I am so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. She was a sweet and beautiful girl inside and out. We worked together for years ago at Cafe Roma and I enjoyed seeing her everyday. I'm sorry that I'm just hearing of her passing and was unable to attend her services as, I would have liked to have been there. Helen, you are now a beautiful angel without the pain and suffering looking down on your wonderful family and friends. R.I.P my dear Helen.

Betty, my best friend...
You and your family are one of the most kind-hearted people that I know. I'm so sorry that you all have to go through this. I may not have all the right words for difficult times, but I'm always here for you and a shoulder to cry on. Heaven was in need of a true angel and she was just that to anyone who had met her. Your special bond with her will last forever. As we joked last night, she is up there having a few drinks with your Dad, pop-pop & mom-mom and maybe even shaking the clouds a bit with a few rounds of bowling. You have so many wonderful memories with her to help you carry on and be strong! She will be truly missed by all. As a promise to her, no matter where life takes us, I will always look out for you. I love you and your family so much!!!
