God has taken a shining light from earth and brought her to shine in the stars at night, warm us in the sunlight and bring us a smile with every soft breeze. Jack was probably wondering what took you so long, he loved you so..but you're together forever now. Helen was a wonderful, loving and caring lady who will be missed by all she touched. God Bless her memory and her family she leaves behind. She and Jack were great friends to my family. With love, Marilyn (Court) and Dean.

Helen was an extraordinary person who shared the love of her life with everyone. She was kind, gentle and thoughtful! She could always be counted on. I have had the pleasure of her company for many years as one of the City of Palos Hills volunteers as well as a devoted assistant for Palos Township. We will miss your beloved mother. Know that our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
