Helen was an important link to the Witt Connection in St. Louis when our brother Gonzalo found Barbara his bride and life companion. Helen welcomed all of us in her home and heart. We love you Helen! You did a great job raising your beloved family. We honor your life.

Barb,Tara and Anna,
You know I adored dear Helen. She was above all others in terms of her sense of style and decorum. I learned so much just being in her presence. My greatest memory was being honored to present her with her Honorary Membership Card from the American Turners. The emotional reaction she had was special and I shared it with her. My love thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate the life of a truly special Turner gal!
