My prayers and condolences to the family. Blessings of peace during this difficult time of losing a loved one. I was fortunate to be a part of the Kensington tennis crew. We played tennis, had cookouts, and socialized at Helene and David's home and Red's home. Those were great times and memories I will cherish. Helene will be truly missed by her family and friends. RIP my friend

Appetizer Party at Janet and Jody's house before we moved into the neighborhood

My dear friend... how I will miss you. We've shared so many landmark memories in life together - raising kids, tennis matches, book club, appetizer parties, happy hours, weddings, festivals, a cruise, the mountain house, trips to the beach, sitting at each other's kitchen counter or on the back porch... opinions, laughter, tears. I will hold all these in the vault of my soul and see you on the red cardinal fly by soon.
