Dearest Khai Nhu and Matt, you and Bubie Helen are in my heart and prayers. I loved hearing stories about what an amazing Eishet Chayil/Woman of Valour she was, and how much she loved you and little Noah and Emerson. I’m sending you and your parents comfort during what I know is an incredibly hard time, especially now.

Her radiant smile lit up a room, and her engaging and exuberant personality was captivating. May her memory be treasured, and may it be a blessing to each of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dear Zweig Family: We are saddened to learn of Helen's passing. We came to know her as a sharp, funny and thoughtful woman. She was the quintessential Yiddishe mame, and it was apparent she reveled in her role as a grandmother. Our children enjoyed chatting with her, especially Zipora, with whom Helen often shared cookies. Our thoughts are with your family at this difficult time. May Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim. Apotex 2 will not be the same. BDE. Morris Miller and family

Hi, Sam and Reuben, Today is my mothers yahrzeit and as usual I go to the cemetery to visit my parents' graves, I do not only visit my parents' graves but I also visit your father Libel's grave. Imagine my surprise when I saw that my very dear aunt Hella had passed away earlier this week. Considering how close we had been all of our lives; I am extremely hurt by the fact that you didn't even think of informing me of my dear aunt's demise. I'm sorry for your loss. Allen Kichler

There are so many things that I could say about why I will miss Helen ~ cooking in her kitchen in matching aprons, sitting across from her at family dinners at Sam & Ellen’s while she explained how she made that gefilte fish herself, watching her light up when she saw you... she touched us all - RIP ❤️ Barbara Shendale
