23 Nov 2024Helen was my best friend for over 40 years – we did a lot of things together — mainly go out to eat I saw her Tuesday the 12th of November before she passed. I wanted to celebrate her birthday before my daughter came to town! I am so glad I got to see her before she passed and I am so sad Mike, Scott, Keny & Jeff that you have lost your mom. She was such a giving person and so funny – I talked with one of our friends and he said Everyone that knew Helen has a Helen story — I said some more than others!!! She was such a blessing to me – I am going to miss her dearly!! Also, I wanted to tell Christine, her sister, that I know you will miss her too = you guys became very close after she retired from her 2nd job. She would tell me about you and what was going on with you and your family. I am sorry for your loss also!! Helen always made me feel like I was part of her family and I love the fact that Keny you were such a great son to her always willing to help her — but that was the way you were raised – she would give you the shirt of her back , if you needed it. Helen – you will no longer have hurt or pain and you will be able to be up there with your other dogs and have a great time!! I love you my friend Helen!!!
