I only knew Helen for a short time but I came to love her as a son. Helen will be missed but not forgotten and will always have a special place in my heart.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother. I remember well those wonderful homemade buns that she used to make. I hope that the years of memories will comfort you as you go through this difficult time.
