UNDERNEATH HER DISGUISE
As I look at her face, I remember the days, When we'd lay, we snuggle, We'd laugh, and we chuckle.
She was my buddy, My hero, My confidant, My Idol.
She knew all my secrets, The good and the bad. Nothing from her I kept. Nothing I did would make her mad.
She'd mix up our names, Her words, and her stories. She'd say, "they're all the same, Absolutey, no worries."
It became more than a mishap, Parkinson's in fact. Not only did it make her shake, Her mind was at stake.
She lays in a bed, In her own little room She mumbles phrases and words, We've never heard.
As I look in her face, I'll remember this day.
Underneath her disguise....
She's still my best friend, Now and always, until the end.
I am so sorry to here of Miss Helen's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.Miss Helen drove me to and from Archbishop Chapelle High School for 4 years. She was the sweetest lady ,always had a smile on her face.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY ON THE LOSS OF DEAR MRS. HELEN. IT WAS AN HONOR AND PRIVLEDGE TO HAVE KNOWN SUCH A LOVELY LADY.
Miss Helen has the distinction of being the only grandmother to have joined us on our Washington trip. She was so much fun and a great sport. I remember her fondly. Her love of life and good nature has certainly been handed down to all the Ottesen/Drivon children I have taught. What a beautiful legacy she left.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. May God Bless You All!
Linda and Steve Noto
