We were saddened to learn of Helen's passing. We will always remember her culinary talents, hospitality, and artistic skills. She and David were always generous and kind to our children who remember them with affection.

Cheryl and I send our heartfelt condolences at the passing of your Mom, Eric. She and your Dad were very special and kind people who treated me well. And when she gave me that stern look at times, she made me feel like part of the family. I'll never forget the good times at The House of Kaufman. May God bless her and your Dad and sustain you and Lynn in your loss.

I'll remember with fondness my visits to Bristol and the house on the hill. Equally etched in my memory was my last chat with Helen at the Sandler's anniversary celebration, and how she was as sharp and vigorous as ever. I wish for peace and ease for the immediate family during the time of transition, and much love... JAK
