It seems only yesterday that Helen died. In representing her, I learned many lesson. Later, I learned what it means to remember and give to others. The whole office always looked forward to her cookies.

A very nice obituary for your Mom. My condolences to all the family. I still remember playing softball in the field next to your house.
Helen and I went through a lot together and I came to admire her determination and how she was able to persevere.
The story of the cookies reminded me of all the cookies she gave to my office for years--everyone looked forward to them.
