  In memory of our “best buddy” Elena



 Although we never were able to shake hands,
we have become the best of friends.
We played for 3 years on the internet,
some games were good and some were bad.

You always had a nice thought or remark for us all,
played every hand even when the chance of winning was small.
You were always well humored and  joking around
beautifull people like you are not easily found.

We, your bbs will miss you everyday,
and think of you everytime we play.
It will never be the same as before,
cause your not there  with us anymore.

But in our hearts you will always be,
you did your part and now you are free.
your time was over and called was the winning hand 
which brought you to  the promised land.

One day we will all meet there,
when we have done our share.
Then we will all kiss and shake hands,
God will bless you and your poker friends.

Aunt Helen....It is so hard to say goodbye to you. You and Uncle Frankie have been there for me ever since I can remember, always making me feel as loved as one of your own children.   Your guidance, wisdom, support and love helped me through so many rough times in my life; and you and Uncle Frankie were always there to share and celebrate the many happy times.  You and Uncle Frankie were a gift from God not only to me, but to our entire family.  I will miss you terribly for the remainder of my life, the memories of all the times we shared will always be in my heart,  and I thank God that I had you for so much of my life!  Love forever, Donna

Joe & I loved Helen & Frank .  They were the cornerstone of "The Ranches.
We have such great memories of them both.
They are together now. They wi
ll be missed and included in our prayers.
Marilyn DiBiase, "The Ranches"

What wonderful pictures of the rich life of Aunt Helen! I think I like the one of her in front  of the stove best, but the many shots of her with her children and grandchildren reveal her pride and joy in them.
I had the pleasure of Aunt Helen's generous, good humored company on several occasions in her last years. I am fortunate to have known such a vivacious woman.   Susan McDermott (Albany, NY)

I will always remember Uncle Frank and Aunt Helens bbq's when I was small.They r almost all with each other now but their memories they made for the families will live forever.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HELEN'S FAMILY.  I WORKED WITH HELEN FOR MANY YEARS AND WE HAD SOME FUN TIMES.  SHE TALKED ABOUT HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ALL THE TIME, SHE WAS SO PROUD OF THEM. SHE WILL BE MISSED.       SINCERELY, EVA PALLAS

Mrs Picone was always welcoming and kind to my children and I at family visits. Seems with ease she made everybody feel like they belonged as part of the family. For this we are forever grateful. The PicKeveny's :) carry her tradition well. 
Having suffered the loss of my mom not too long ago, I can assure you all of one thing. In time, these will be the memories that stand out in your minds and fill your hearts. You'll find that it will be less painful and more thankful you were so privileged. Her legacy lives on. We will miss her.  
Our hearts and thoughts are with you all...
All Our Love, Drew, Dora and Casey Hill.

Having Aunt Helen in my life has been a gift from the start.  She is there among my earliest memories.  I will always remember her sharp wit, strength, and knack for making everything more fun.   I will forever think of her with great admiration and love.

I was blessed to witness a person who so shared the joy and love to be found in the everyday. I see Helen's spirit in her children and grandchildren, and the world is a much better place. Thank you. Miss you.

Dearest Mom, 
You are the strongest woman I know and your unwavering love and support served as my guide and inspiration for all I have done. When the pain of your sudden departure subsides, I know I will remember your generous heart and the joy you brought to me and my children. While I will miss you so much, you will forever be with me. With overwhelming love and gratitude, your daughter Dianne.

Thank you for the many fond memories that were shared with you and frank. Thank you for always making me feel included in your family with your thoughtfulness and generosity.  You both were the best grandparents that my  kids could ever had.  Giving them the best memories of who you are  everyday and watching them so that larry and i  could both work with a peaceful mind and heart.  As the years went on i found a friend in you and will miss your kind words and guidance... enjoy paradise... until we meet again.
