Dear Dick and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Helen. I worked with her at First National/ Bank One for years. She also knew my parents from the Calcutta area Bob Wally & Maxine Smith. You have our prayers and sympathy. Please take care of yourself.

Dear Dick–I was so sorry to hear about Helen’s passing. I know that she is now in a better place, but that certainly does not lessen the loss. I am so glad that we got to spend that time with both of you. And I am sorry that we are so far away at a time like this, but please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers. I will always have great memories of Helen letting Vicki and I play in her jewelry when we were young and visiting at your house. Take care of yourself. Love Becky “The Old Sarg”, Rick, Betsy and Rick III.
