Our thoughts and prayers to all of Helen's family. She was a sweet lady that we enjoyed visiting with by mom, Gert Winkel, at the Woods. They often sat together for meals and Diane and I got to talk with her. She also was Aunt Helene's twin sister so there was a family connection for us as well as the twin factor. Made for good conversation. Our sympathy to you all. Gert Winkel, Diane Joppie and Donna Heuker.
