Uncle Frank, I heard of Auntie Helen's passing, and wanted to express my heart-felt condolences to you and your family. I will always remember the summer you and she spent with Guy and his family down in Castle Rock, and the time I got to spend with you at my place and the many lunches we shared together. I can only imagine the loss you and the kids must feel. May she rest in Peace with my Mother and her sisters. Fred Garcia

Dear J.R., I can't express how truly saddened I was to hear about the loss of your mother. You have been e-mailing me and keeping me apprised as to her health, but one is never prepared to hear that your friend's mother has passed on. I wish I could be there for you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and will be from here on. I wish I knew all the right things to say that I could take the pain away. Only time can heal those wounds. Remember and cherish all the good times that you had with your mother, those can never be taken away. She is at peace now and will always be with you and your family watching over you. May you be blessed with your new home very soon, and may you live the happy memories that you and your mother shared, not dwell on the sadness that this time can bring. Because that's what your mother would want, I'm sure. For you all to be together and help each other through this time of sorrow. Call me if ever you need a friend to talk to. I might not have a lot of wisdom, but I'm a very good listener. Love and thoughts to you and your family, Stephanie, Dean and Ashton Tyrell
