When I think of Helen, I remember a lovely lady who always smiled, was happy being with her friends and family, went out of her way to make others happy and knew how to enjoy life. She welcomed me into her home, having dinners at her house and playing cards with her and Joanne. She was always young at heart and will be an eternal shining star.
My condolences to Joanne and family. She will be missed by all.
