Uncle Jim, Randy, Steve and Alicia
Our sympathies and prayers are for your family. Helen was such an active, intelligent and talented lady. We talked about getting together, then COVID happened. She will be missed. I'm sure the emptiness you feel now will fill in with wonderful memories.

Thoughts and prayers to your family. Helen was a dedicated member of the Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Chapter and a friend. She was always on the look out for historical information to share with members, provided Matchbox cars for our community classroom and served many years as an officer. Her memory will always be dear to me.
