“THANK YOU” from Helen’s Family. Words cannot express how totally devastated and overwhelmed with grief we felt when we heard Helen was gone. It felt like the rug had just been pulled from under us. The support from near and far has been amazing and has made a difference to our families. Having you all by our side, sending your condolences, food, flowers, cards, donations, etc. was a true act of friendship to my mom and our families. We appreciate all the helping hands you have extended to us during this period of sadness and has not gone unnoticed. It is overwhelming & unbelievable that Helen touched so many people. It says something about the woman she was. She will be forever missed.
