Dear Alan & Wendy,
You have our most sincere condolences on the passing of your mom. My memories of her are of fun and a willingness to open her home to me so often when you didn't want to drive me home (out of fear). Helen always made me feel like I had a home away from home. She will be missed I'm sure by many people. Helen was a true Majestic Mom.

Dear Michael, Vickie and Michael,
I was so sad to learn of your Mom's passing.She was such a special person and will be missed by so many. When my parents (Ruth and Harry Schwartz) moved to California all those years ago I was a single Mom still living in Chicago......She picked up the gauntlet - became my girlfriend and "stand in" Mom to me and Grandma to my daughters. We became part of the Metnick Family - Jewish Holidays, birthdays - the whole thing. ....My personal memories of her will always bring a smile to my heart. My deepest condolence to your entire family.
