I am very grateful to Helen for the love she provided my father, Jack Sullivan. I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet her and her son Ray when both she and Jack were still alive, and to introduce my son Devin to our in-laws. RIP Helen.

To Ray and Hermle Family,
So sorry to learn of Helen's passing. Helen was a great matriarch of the Hermle family but also a loving sister-in-law to my wife Maggie and me. May the Lord Jesus welcome Helen into his presence along with all the other deceased members of our families.
