So incredibly sad to hear. I know you are in a better place. I remember going to my Omies house while she hosted a luncheon or an event and always having great conversations with you. It was quite sometime ago but I remember your sweetness and kindness. You and Hatte always gave me a laugh too. We would always talk about how long your hair was. Your family is in my thoughts. You were an amazing and kind soul. You will be missed.

I remember Helga well when she and my late mother Mary, both resided at The Devonshire. Such a sweet lady. Always up for a chat and a visit to her room.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
