Dear Family of Helen.
We who were part of the Ner Tamid family all of our lives will truly miss Helen. She personified that which was great with our beloved synogogue. Since her days as Rabbi Birnbaums personal secretary until recently, her warm, friendly presence was felt and enjoyed by all. She was so helpful to me as a child and as an adult. My these and all of your wonderful memories of her be a comfort to the entire family in this time of sorrow, and gain some comfort in the fact that so many thought so much of her. She will be missed by us all.
