I am just now finding out that Ms. Helen passed away and gained her angel wings. I used to work at St. Anne’s as a dietary aide for several years, particularly in the cafe near the apartments where Ms. Helen came in almost daily. She always a sweet smile that lit up any room and was a kind lady who always talked so highly of her family. Especially her granddaughter Erin and was so proud of her many accomplishments in addition to attending Immaculata. God bless Ms. Helen and her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. -Mark

Dear Martin Family, I wanted to express my condolences in the passing of your mother. Mrs. Martin was a such a kind and wonderful woman. She made a huge impact on me when I worked at Conestoga View, many, many years ago. The support and encouragement she gave me while I was going through nursing school is something I’ve never forgotten. She truly was a genuinely beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless,

Our condolences in the passing of your mother Helen. We appreciated your parents living down the street, and enjoyed seeing you kids growing up, playing football at the top of the hill, baby sitting our children Sam and Karen, and seeing you together at church. She was a great asset to our growing into adult roles, knowing I could talk with her about anything. We will miss her.
