Hi...I'm so sorry for your loss..I was wondering if Helen may have been related to me in some way. My paternal grandmother was Elizabeth Niemeyer, married to my grandfather William Vanderburg. We are of the dutch, Christian Reformed background, having lived in Iowa, Minnesota, and the Chicago are now for the last 40 years. It would be interesting to kow if we are related. Again, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
