Helen treated me as one of the family. Rick had his hands full with her as she was a spitfire. I enjoyed spending time watching Texas holdem on the tv. I only played actual cards with her once. Let’s just say she knew how to play. To know Helen was to love her. You either did or you didn’t. She lived her life her way and that’s to be respected. She is now up there with Rick smoking cigs and flipping channels. Hey Helen I set in your old love seat occasionally and let Rick know I still have the gag gift Cain you bought him. Love ya lady thanks for sharing “slip”. Aka LB!
We will miss our Helen. She was our “Mother” after our Ma died. She was my Dan’s Godmother, & my Matron of Honor.. She guided us through our teen years too
