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
Happy “heavenly” Birthday, Mom! We can’t believe it’s been 6 months and we miss you so much!
