The family will be forever grateful to Dr. Jose Martinez-Salas and his nurses, Lisa and Sandra, for their love and compassionate care through many years.
Helen’s greatest joy was found in her family and friends. She was loved by all she met, and will be missed by her devoted family, neighbors, bridge friends, and everyone who was blessed to share in her life.
