I am currently in Texas and just got word of Helen's passing. Helen worked in my Department for Catholic Charities. Not only was she a valuable employee, she was a good friend who will be missed by her many friends and peers at Park Place in Waukegan. May she rest in peace.

Whether it was Christmas, thanksgiving, News Years, or Easter dinners, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or Labor Day picnics, weddings, watching her get "mad" playing the dice game, bingo at jaimes house, the many functions at St. Pauls, dinners at Glen Flora, and the rest of the random family get-togethers, Helen was always a joy to be around and will be dearly missed by us all. Good bye Aunt Helen.
