Helen was a dear friend to me. I joked that my crazy bubbly personality and her Eyeore one balanced us out nicely. I feel blessed to have known her. Paths cross for a reason, and I am grateful mine crossed with hers. She touched my life, and my kids’ as well. We’ll all miss her.
Much love,
Wendy, Phoebe, Xander, And Alyson
I remember Helen fondly from my younger days when my mom and Aunt worked across the hall from the WACOPSE. I had an account there and would stop him and also enjoyed my conversations with Mr. Springer and her. While in high school I mowed her lawn up on Stone Hill Road for a couple summers. She had a bit of a sardonic attitude and as a young guy I found it amusing and I think she enjoyed that and that’s why we always seemed to hit it off. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and with her.
