Helen (and Mike) were good, salt of the earth, genuine human beings. They bought me my class ring at Bishop Donahue when they found I couldn’t afford one. And Helen treated me as a friend, teaching me to make Croatian Nut Horns, which I do every Christmas. Rest in Peace, for the two of you are together again.
