My sincerest condolences to everyone in the Connolly family. Dear Helen is resting with the true love of her life, Mr. Connolly. Two of my sisters were some of her caretakers and I met her through them. She was always smiling. I count it a pleasure to have met this Lady. May your memories comfort you all in your sadness.
This is to all of you. I shall remember the love that your mother gave to her children and all the kids in the neighborhood as we all grew up with on Glenwod St. We shall cherish all of these memories. “Love”
Thank you so much John. We will cherish the memories of our childhood.
