Marianne and Anne Marie,
I was so saddened to read about your Mom's passing in this morning's paper. Please know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. She was such a beautiful person and will truly be missed by many.

Marriane, Anne Marie and families,
A very special person has left us, but has left us with memories of how special she was to all who knew her. My Aunt Helen will always be remembered for her sweet demeanor, her masterful letters that meant so much to their recipients, and a wonderful smile that could light up a room. My mom and dad always welcomed her letters, and they were special for my mom after dad's passing. I always enjoyed our holiday calls and will miss her very much. Our prayers are with all of you and Aunt Helen remains in our prayers as she joins all her family members in heaven. God bless her soul and may her memory keep us all aware that we all leave behind a legacy in the memories we leave behind. Hers is a wonderful legacy indeed.
