We were so saddened to read about the deaths of Helen and Steve. My parents, Winfield and Anne Ritzert, have had two pictures of Helen's watercolors (from Christmas cards) hanging in the dining room for years.
I'm sorry to say that my father Win passed away on November 3, 2014, at the age of 97, and his brother Bob died on July 1, 2014, a few months shy of his 88th birthday. Their father was Bob Ritzert (married to Eva), brother of Helen's father, Fred.
(For anyone who might remember my mother Anne, she is still alive, but Uncle Bob's wife Gloria died less than two years ago)
