  1. I will always remember Helaine with love and fondness. She was a generous and loving step-grandmother. While we didn’t get to spend much time together, she was always thoughtful and stayed in touch over my years growing up. I remember being so touched when she sent a card for my college graduation–that was just one small example of Helaine’s kind spirit. Sending much love to her family, know that she is missed and was loved by her step-granddaughter.
