I just found Helen´s obituary today. My mother, Josephine Graves had a wonderful friendship with Helen. In my mom´s later years, she wondered about Helen. We lived on Alta Vista, along with Helen and family, and the Fitzpatricks. My mom and Helen are in heaven together right now, hopefully having great fun! I extend my deepest condolences to all of Helen´s family. She, her husband Frank, and all her kids were always so good to me. So, so many fond memories.
Love,

I fondly recall having Mrs. Brewster as a substitute teacher in her later years at Sahuarita. She was a gem, and always had a great attitude for her students. Kindness exuded from this lady.
