To Buddy, Al, Jono, Jo and Michael:
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Helen was a wonderful sister, aunt and friend. She always found room at the table for additional guests; the more the merrier. Helen made everyone feel welcome because she cared for people.
Helen touched many people, whether they were her students, friends or family and we are all the better for her presence in our lives.
Assuredly, she's found friends and family in heaven for "splitzies!"
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
