My memories of Helen, my mom, my best friend's mother, you always greeted me with a beautiful smile on your face a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. I have loved you since I was 16 years old, I remember being at your home in East Paterson, Barbara and I and Amy hung out upstairs in their bedroom I learned about matzo balls, bagels and cream cheese and lox, I wasn't too crazy about that last one but I ate it anyway as not to offend you ☺️, I have a secret did you know that Amy used to sneak over to my house to see Ronnie her now husband when she was almost 14 years old please don't be mad! She's a good kid and I love her too like a sister. Then you moved to the Oranges and it was a little longer to travel there, but I came to see Barb and you and Dan and that god-awful bird that kept talking and talking I think his name was ebony! He was really beautiful but he didn't shut up and he always mimicked Dan!! As I think of it I laugh I have so many wonderful memories that I would need a book to write them all down I'm sorry I wasn't there for you at the end but you're loving daughter took such wonderful care of you Barbara really misses you Helen and so do I as does Amy and everyone that loves you because you were such a special woman! I know that you and Dan are up in heaven dancing around no pain happy watching over us two special people, together again, I love you Helen and I always will you are in my heart always and forever! ❤️❤️🙏🙏 I wanted to tell you just one thing did you know that Barbara and I had the same first boyfriend I was in 4th grade and his name was Joey I don't remember his last name, but later on in life Barbara said to me that her first boyfriend's name was Joey what do you think of that? It's strange how things work out isn't it? I will miss you my dear sweet friend and Mom, always in my heart, Kathie ❤️❤️❤️

Mom always insisted we be ourselves 
She was always interested but never prying 
Always loving and letting us fly free 
Opening doors but never shoving us through 
Showing us there’s love in the world 
Encouraging us to paint our own picture 
We thank her for introducing us to the human race by being kind generous and respectful to all
Her beautiful smile always be with us.

My sincere condolences to family of dear sweet Helen. Having being a caregiver for Helen for a number of years made me more aware of the affects of dementia not only on the patient but on family members. I loved making Helen laugh & we even danced to her favorite songs. She had an amazing voice as well. I truly loved this lady. Rest In Peace. 

My dearest Barbara & Amy,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Helen was such a sweet and gentle woman, in all the 30+ years that I have known the family. Helen, there are no words to express what a great and admiral person you were, you always had that beautiful welcoming smile for everyone, and you touched so many lives, mine being one. 
Go be with you husband and rest gently, as your work on earth is done. I will always have a special place in my heart for you. Rest In Peace my dear Helen. 

❤️ Grandmas are the best family of all. I love you.
