    Stephen, Chris, and Teresa, and Family:
    I had the true good fortune to work with, and get to know, Helen way back in 1979. She was a character… loads of fun to work with, she had a kind heart, and I have always respected her. She was a worker, and always full of energy! I am saddened to learn that Helen has died but you must be proud of the memories she has left with you; she loved her family. Please accept my sincere sympathies.

    It has been a long and courageous battle for your Mom and for you… there will be tears, there will be sadness but some day there will be peace knowing that she isn’t suffering, she is at peace with her loved ones and you will find some comfort in that. All of my love to you and your family as you travel this
