My heartfelt condolences to Helen’s family and loved ones. I feel very fortunate to have been able to visit with Helen many times over the past months since she was diagnosed, sharing stories, ideas and, most of all, many good laughs.
I will remember her as a feisty, brilliant, and kind woman—someone with an incredible strength of spirit right to the very end. She will be greatly missed.
Because of our love for cats, I have in Helen’s memory, made a donation to BiscuitsandPurrsCR.com a local cat rescue, as requested in her death announcement. It feels like a lovely way to honor her memory and the things she cared about.
With deepest sympathy,
Tineke Doornbosch
Condolences from my husband Dan Woods as well.
