John's Mom

Today I am writing with the sad news that John's Mom passed away on Monday.  Helen was 97 years old and went peacefully.  She had a good life and always talked about how blessed she was.  When Helen and I were together, especially when she lived in Schaumburg, we had some special times.  And when we talked about those times, even recently, we would laugh and laugh.  She might not have remembered all of the details but her eyes would sparkle when I retold her stories of those times (with a little embellishing from me).  She will be very much missed by her family and friends.  She was certainly loved!
