Hello, I am very sorry for your loss. I was friends with Donna in grade school and her beautiful sister Judy used to ride the bus with us to school. I am stunned to hear of both of their passings. I saw Donna some years back at Jewel and she was just stunning. I am so very sorry. Judy (Pawl) Danalewich

So sorry to hear of Helen's passing. She was a wonderful woman. She was my Team Leader when I sold Avon and remained a friend as years went by. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy to her family whom she loved dearly.

Helen was a wonderful lady. I always looked forward to seeing her and she brought such beautiful things with her from Avon. The angels must be looking through the books now! God bless Helen and her family. We live in Michigan now but we used to live in Long Run Acres off Lemont Road in Illinois.
