In Loving Memory

Dear Mark,

My Mom called and told me of your Mom's passing.  Every time I visited Ellwood and was working out in the yard at 701 Todd Ave, I would always see your Mom either walking or driving by.   Helen always stopped and talked...what a genuinely warm and loving woman.  Helen had such a contagious smile!  She gave my Mom so many rides over the years. 

My Mom was heartbroken as well, loosing a dear friend.  We are all so sorry for your loss.

Fondly,
Doreen (Lonnett) Palatka

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear mother.  Both your parents were wonderful people and I know you will miss them.  I remember track days in high school with Lori and having both your parents around.  I felt really honored to know them and have them make me a part of their family.  Undoutedly many lives have been touched by your mother in life as will happen in her passing.  Take comfort in knowing that your mother felt your love for her and is now resting in eternal peace with your dad.  Missing her is a normal part of life and I feel your pain; I will be praying for strength and comfort for all of you.
                                                                                                 In My thoughts

Rob, Mark (Gun),Lori, and families,
    I was terribly sorry to hear of your mom's death.  I will always remember her as the sweetest person and so pleasant to be with! You were all blessed to have such a mom.  May your good memories bring you all comfort and strength.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

                                                                                    With sympathy,
                                                                                    Peggy (Salvati) Tonini

The loss of such a special person brings sadness to everyone who knew Helen.
I am indeed grateful to have spent time with her, she had a special way of
making everyone feel comfortable and at home.

Her grandchildren Melinda and Andrew will never forget  how wonderful their
grandmother was. My thoughts are with the entire family during this time of
sorrow.
