My condolences to Helen´s family. Helen was a ex-Supreme President with our UPPEC (a Portuguese org that was based in Hayward, CA. One of our members recently found out that Helen passed away. I went on obits and found that she passed in Nov 2020. It list her son as Al Groh. Al I would very much like it if you can call me. 559-288-4547 or email me [email protected]
The UPPECus 1 of 4 societies that merged together in 2010 and is now known as PFSA and they moved from San Leandro to their new home office in Modesto. I know your mother attended one of our conventions right after we merged but was not able to attend anymore after that. I don´t know Al if you were aware of this. I am an ex-Supreme President too. I don´t believe anything was told to PFSA of her passing at the time of her death. She should have had a policy with UPPEC that would be processed thru PFSA. We need to include Helen in our memorial service at our 2022 Convention. Because of Covid we have not had any conventions for past 2 years.
The obit did not list any services listed. Was a service held for Helen?
Again my condolences to you and your family. It has been quite a few years since I saw your mother. Hoping to hear from you. Nancy Cunha
