I'll remember all our cherished family get togethers at Sharon and Kenny's for holidays and other events that Aunt Helen always looked forward to attending.

I'll miss our weekly phone calls every Sunday for 10+ years talking politics, news of the week from her daily Wall Street Journals and what was happening in the family.

You are in heaven with Uncle Bill and our Lord.

Love,
Maureen

I will miss Aunt Helen for our "intellectual" discussions on politics, on the economy, on international relations, and just on "about anything." She had a dry sense of humor and could laugh about anything. And Helen had a rather good memory and I will miss our talks on anything appearing in the Wall St. Journal. May the Good Lord bless you and Uncle Bill!
