For Dear Helen's Family:

Deepest regret for the loss of your Mom and Gramm. Helen was a loving, warm and wonderful Lady. Well spoken and kind, thoughtful and sweet-hearted. BAPA was a better office for her presence as well as a host of her other Beverly community activities. May God rest her soul. She shall be forever missed.

With fond memories,
Mary Quinn Olsson
