Jennifer and Brian, my heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Your mom was a wonderful lady!
Helen was one of my mom's friends since high school. I can't even imagine the loss that my mom and "the girls" are feeling right now.
I'm sure you both know this, but your mom so loved her grandchildren. I can still remember when she walked into my baby shower, gave me and my mom a huge hug, and said something like "Oh my God, you can't believe how much you're going to love these babies" with that big grin she had.
I'm sure you have more wonderful memories and I hope they give you comfort in your loss.

Harry,Jennifer & Brian,
Words can't express our shock & sadness to read the paper & see this. We were neighbors in Bolingbrook for a few months & maybe you'll remember my kid's, Christine, Bob, Ellyn & Sheri. She was one of a kind! God bless you all!
