I have shared my memories of you and Jerry with my daughter & Kenny. You were always so kind and considerate. Your devotion to your family was endless. You taught me about flowers - especially your love of peonies. I still have the beautiful tiles from Portugal you gifted us. And your love of books. I always enjoyed our visits to your home and remember Jerry and you discussing Old English Pine pieces and where to get them. Thank you for being a part of my families lives. Your kindness, strength & character live on through your children. Rest In Peace. Patti

I always remembered Helen as a loving, strong intelligent woman who loved her life and her family. I fondly remember the beautiful home in Old Westbury that she raised her wonderful family in. The beautiful gardens she was so proud of, and all of her books. But her family is what she was most proud of. She welcomed many friends into her home and was always so gracious and kind. Even in death her generosity continues. Thank you so much for asking others to kindly donate to the Sunrise Fund in loving memory of Liz Kelly. You and Jerry were the most wonderful couple and you are now together again!
With much love, admiration, and appreciation----Patti Kelly
