I have always referred to My Uncle John and My Aunt Mary Helen as the "The most beautiful dancing couple I have ever known". Since I was a little girl I have watch them dance so lovingly and gracefully through life together. There love for each other has always made me smile.

Dear Uncle John and Mark, my sadness with the passing of my godmother is only surpassed by my joy to know that
Aunt Mary Helen is 'catching up' with her parents and her sisters and brothers. I remember so well the visits between Mom and Mary Helen and their connection. And how much she was always there for me with so much love and grace. I wore the 'Godmother' pearls I have with much pride on 7/11. These were the pearls from Aunt Helen to her goddaughter, Mary Helen and then to me. It was like wearing a cloak of good will, purpose, loyalty and love . I will truly miss her . With much love, Donna
