So very deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Helen Marie. She was a treasure to so many. I will always remember her kindness to me and the fun that still makes me smile after many, many years from a time when youth was on our side. We had not seen each other for decades, but her goodness is always a most loving memory that I have never forgotten. It is a consolation knowing that she lived a fulfilling life.
