We have lost one of our best customers & friends. Helen was a stick of dynamite, a genuine and honest individual. We had a lot of fun with both her & Stanley on our many tours. She told it like it was… and that was one of her many charms. We’re going to miss her deeply. …She’s probably already taking money from her shoe, looking to hit the jackpot in the casino’s in heaven…. We wish to express our condolences to her entire family. She was one of a kind, irreplaceable and it was our pleasure to know her.
