I will always remember Helen and the many years we spent on the same bowling team. We had many good times together.
I will remember you at Mass on Monday. I will not be able to attend at 10 due to a previous appointment.
So sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. She was God mother to our son Todd. Remember how when she would come for his birthday she always brought a gift for his brother Jim. She was so thoughtful. Rest in God’s arms Helen.
Linda, So sorry to hear of your loss. You mom was always such a wonderful, caring and loving person. When we were growing up she was always the “cool” mom, so young compared to my mom. I think about her often, especially when I drive past Harlan. She taught me how to make lasagna, and I remember every Labor day having lasagna and salad at your house. Fun times. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Dodie and Greg Stockmann
