Dear Cousins, We are saddened at the loss of Helen. She and Tom were such an attractive couple and so kind and friendly. Don remembers the grand time all the cousins had at Grandma Phoebe's, especially at Christmas and the 4th of July. May it give you comfort in knowing that Helen and Tom are united again. God be with you all as you go through this difficult time. Don and Connie are in Arizona so we will not be able to attend the service but we will be thinking of you. Love, Connie and Donald LundellMinneapolis, MN 02/13/2013 8:38 PM
