My Dearest Ms Helen,
I am saddened to learn of your transition my dear!! What fond memories I will always have of our time spent on Ellwood Drive sitting on the front porch of our homes, and even more so, after I moved and would returned home to say hello to you. "Look at you with your fat self!" I will always hear the joy in your voice and your laugh when you hugged me. Life's simple pleasures...you were a wonderful neighbor, even to my mother until she moved. Rest well Ms. Helen, you fought a good fight, now sleep on Angel! My sincere condolences to all of the family!!
