Forever in our hearts
I am so sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. So many good memories of growing up across the street . She always had a smile for you and I was so glad that she became friends with my son and his family when they moved into Mom & Dads house.
Helen always led with her beautiful smile and made everyone she met feel special. Our memories of Helen will always be joyful. Knowing that Helen and Alex are now together in eternal happiness, helps ease the sorrow we are feeling.
Helen was a wonderful, delightful person and a terrific aunt . My sister and I both wish we could make the service. Helen was beautiful both inside and out. We will miss her dearly .
Love,
Greg and Susan Siewny and our families
