We first met Helen in 1966 and met up each time we have managed to visit the States. We have very fond memories of visits to her house in "The Boondacks" with Ethel and Larry. We are especially reminded when looking out at the unusual snow we have here. Her smiles and friendliness will be sadly missed.
Love
Joyce and Len (England).

Harry, Larry, Linda, Jeanette, Bruce, Herb, and David,
I will miss your mother so much. She was always Aunt Helen to me. She made everyone she met part of her family. We had so many good times together. It was great that our family and hers lived together for a short time and then were neighbors for years. She was always full of fun and loved to have a good time -- she really enjoyed life to the fullest. Her kindness and generosity will always be remembered by me as well as by anyone who knew her.

Our most caring thoughts and sympathy go out to all of your family. We were very privileged to share many family gatherings with the Grams (Helen and Wilma) and will miss our regular contact with Helen. We knew the family from grade school on and have many wonderful memories of times we shared with Helen.
