Vivienne and I remember with fondness not only the "MOPC Golf Group" dinners at Gordon's and Helen's house, but also the luncheon and visit we had with you all after they moved to Westlake. We will miss her smile, good nature spirit and their dedication to their friends that they both shared. Please know that we all share in your grief at this time. Give our love and prayers to Barbara, Guy, Carol and Tim. Helen and Gordon were unique people and we will miss them badly.

Carol,
I am so sorry for the loss of Helen. I just know she and Gordon are enjoying a wonderful reunion with a glass of the good stuff and maybe a little wort sauce. I love you and think of you often. I don't know if you got my message. We bought a home one street from your old house on Grand Oaks. So you guys are in my thoughts daily.
Love,
Stephanie
