Memories of Elena go back to the first time I was ever introduced to her in 1972. I was just a young girl then and liked hanging out in the kitchen and watching her make fresh squeezed orange juice, or a peach pie from the peaches grown in the yard or listening to her advice on organic health cures or sharing her philosophy and point of view. I am especially grateful for her many years of devotion and love she had for Dad and I am glad they are together now in peace. Billy, I know your mom is looking down on you with great love and she will always be with you ! Love, Susan

Dear Bill, We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Helena will always have a place in our hearts and the memories of her warm and generous nature will be for all time. I remember how welcome she made us feel with each and every visit! It is my hope that these and other memories of her will offer you comfort as well. Take care and God bless. Elaine & Randy Kurie

Dear Billy my thoughts and prayers are with you. I shared many happy times with your Mom. Helene was an artist of her profession!! We were good friends for about 60 years and I will greatly miss her companionship,

Extending deepest sympathy and remembering many cherished visits over the years. With love, Marilyn and family

Bill, we were so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved mother. She was a wonderful, sweet, and caring, lady. We have many fond memories of fun times with Helena. Our trip to Smithville with your Mom and mine was absolutely fantastic! What a joy! I will miss visiting her everytime I was in New Jersey. She always had Russian candy for John Thomas or a low sugar treat for me! She was so thoughtful. Beyond that, she was so loving to our family. Heaven has a new angel. I pray you feel the comfort and peace of the knowledge that you will be united again. Love and prayers, Susan and Tom

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
