"Dear Leonard & family, As you know, Helen meant the world to us. She was always thoughtful, kind and caring and everything she did, she did well. Helen was known for her good cooking both at school and at home and graciously provided delicious dishes for others to enjoy. Our family especially loved her fruit salads, every one better than the last. Most of all, we just appreciated her warmth and sense of humor. We were so fortunate to have Helen in our family. She was loved by all and will be missed. Sincerely, Linda & Curt"
