She will be dearly missed by all who loved her, including many nieces and nephews and friends.
I just wanted to send my most sincere heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Helen Stone will surely be missed but now she is reunited with her husband (and everyone else that has preceded her) in heaven. Helen is surely amongst saints and angels of which she is also certainly the latter. I will also miss and remember her. It is in the memories that we all live on; and I will remember her keen sense of morality and her infectious smile that could light up a room. Helen seemed to have a tenacious side that some might call stubborn but I think I would call it good old fashioned self-determination. Once again my heart goes out to her whole family she will be missed.
We just learned of Helen’s passing today. Just want to express our sympathy to the family. We had many fun Sunday dinners in Mexico with your folks plus all the good times eating out with the Friday night gang in Minnesota. May God grant you peace during these days of remembering your mom. She was a very good friend and we did miss her when she left Cambridge.
