I wanted to give condolences from myself and my wife Cheryl to Helen’s family. Helen was our friend and neighbor for 24 years. I will always remember our first meeting, her and Roxy were outside.  She was an awesome lady. She will be missed alot. She also was great with our daughter Michelle, our yorkie Juliet, and our current dog Chi. I myself will miss her alot, she was one of a kind.  And a joy to know.
