Rick, Maddie, Turner and myself would like to express our condolences to the Lennon family and friends. Although I didn't know Mrs. Lennon well, I do know her daughter Nancy. Nancy is a wonderful friend and mother. I am sure Mrs. Lennon took great pride in this and she will be remembered through her children and grandchildren.

Dear Bernie & Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of Helen. We have very fond memories of Helen, her brother & her parents from the time we were young children. We spent many Christmas Days together at the Sheremeta home. I saw Helen 2 years ago and she reminded me that she was my babysitter. May she rest in peace in
God's loving arms.
