I knew Helen since I was a little kid and she was always nice to me and offered me food and drinks every time I came over even for a short time. She had her issues like all of us but she was funny and said it like it was. Rest in peace Helen, peace that you had a difficult time finding here. - Posted by: Atilla Nemeth (family friend) on: Oct 28, 2012
