You and your family are in our prayers, so sorry for your loss.
Helen was one of the first ladies I met at St. Barnabas, when I arrived 30 years ago. She was always welcoming and friendly. We had many pleasant chats. She will be missed.

Dear Uncle Ralph and family I am deeply saddened hearing that Aunt Helen passed away. I have so many fond memories of her growing up. She was such a strong, and caring woman. Know that my thoughts, and prayers are with all of during this difficult time. HUGS
For so many years I delighted in Helen stopping by my office in the church on her card playing days to give me a big hello and a hug. I will miss those hugs dearly…

I am so sorry for your loss, and have my love and deepest sympathy. Aunt Helen was one of my favorite aunts so wise and strong. I have so many wonderful memories of her.
we were so very very sorry to hear the passing of Helen as both Helen and Ralph were our friends as have always exchanged Christmas with them and we did live in Mills River North Carolina and went to Saint Barnabas Catholic too and Ralph stood up for Ron when he made his First Holy Communion too and so we knew them both pretty well and then we moved to Fairfield Bay Arkansas a retired community and then they were going Bankrup and so we had to move again and settled for Columbia , Missouri as it is closer to Chicago; Illinois and only takes us about 8 hrs to get up there as that is where are both from . It is so very sad to see a old friend die as they were and are lovely people. this how we knew Helen and Ralph Witkowski . Our Prayers are with For Helen as may she always rest in peace and for Ralph as we know he misses her. Love Pat and Ron Novak
