To our dear friend Helen who leaves us with so many years of memories, so much laughter and so many meals together and such good recipes. Will never forget the giggles we had when we worked together at DLS, all of this we will keep so dearly in our hearts....

Helen made me laugh every day that I volunteered at DLS. Her sense of humor and her love of family were joys to share. I will miss her.
