Although, I have never met Helen T. Marini in person, I can honestly say that I have known her. Since Lisa Marini, her grandaughter, and I became friends, I was introduced (through several intersting stories) to the caring, warm, and sometimes fiesty personality of this remarkable woman who has left such a wonderful legacy of strength and love. During this difficult time, I would like to offer my prayers to all the relatives of Helen T. Marini, that they will find the strength to utilize the legacy left to them to overcome their sorrows.
Sincerely,
Tanya Melich

I never knew Helen Marini except through the loving eyes of her granddaughter Lisa who is my friend. She was a generous and loving grandmother as shown by the adoration and respect of Lisa who always spoke so highly of her grandmother. I am sorry for her passing but know she made her family very happy and thus made her also happy. Who could wish for more as a grandmother than to be loved by your grandchildren so deeply.
