I was so sad to hear of Helen's passing. I knew her as a child growing up. We lived across the street from each other in Santa Cruz. She was my best friend. We had many adventures! After my family moved away we lost track of each other. I saw her again a few years ago at a social function she recognized me from a distance. She had her son come over and ask me if I was Frances Hoover. It was so good to see her again. May the Lord comfort you and bless you, her loving family.

Family of Helen Garcia , So very saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved mother, grandma, great grandma Helen. I meet her awhile back at my nephews house Pete/Wendy. We got to talking and I knew all her family what a small world. I pray she had a beautiful reunion with all her family that had gone before her especially her husband Ramon. God bless you all during this difficult time.
Deepest sympathy,
Leroy Sanchez

Nena. While we can’t laugh with you, rejoice with you, share stories with you or hug you.. you have left an indelible mark on your family and friends that will forever be cherished. Your memory will always be with those you have touched. As Elvis said (I think you liked him a little)
“Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so”
I’ll miss you, but won’t forget you.
But, let's let Elvis have the final word from his song that seems apropos, "Forget Me Never."
“If I should go, forget me never
Please say that you'll remember me
I pray the dreams we share together
Will shine on in your memory.”
Nena.. I’m guessing the King is already singing to you right now. Just don’t take away his "Blue Suede Shoes," because he has a "Suspicious Mind" and you might just end up in “Jailhouse Rock."
Love your brother-in-law.
Alan

BEAUTIFUL!
Beautiful Family! Beautiful Life. Rest in peace.
By C.A.M.
She's in the sun, the wind, the rain,
she's in the air you breathe with every breath you take.
She sings a song of hope and cheer,
there's no more pain, no more fear.
You'll see her in the clouds above,
hear her whisper, words of love,
you'll be together before long,
until then listen for her song.
Thanks for the memories. Until next time.
