Helen-your life was taken much too quickly. But while you were here, I always enjoyed working with you. You had an answer for every question I asked and a solution for every problem I had. And you were truly the Common Trust Fund expert! We had some great times at American Security Bank, that’s for sure. I will miss you.
God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust. Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Helen was always available, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable on behalf of M&T in Catholic Relief Services’ partner relationship with the bank. Our sympathies are with her family. Helen and family are in our thoughts and prayers.
WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE DURING THIS TIME OF SORROW AND ALWAYS. M&T BANK CO-WORKER
My deepest sympathies to Helen’s family. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know Helen, even though it was mostly work related. She was a smart,warm and sometime funny person. A very special person that will be missed.
Helen – You were such a great and true friend – I will miss you very much. Traveling together was so much fun and “Rodrigo & Gabriela” will always remind me of you. My deepest sympathy to your family.
Sarah, Ian and all of Helen’s family and friends. Mike and I send our deepest sympathies to you for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Most sincerely, Ann and Mike
With deepest sympathy to Helen’s family. May your memories of Helen keep and sustain you. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. I was a former M&T co-worker in York PA.
Ian and Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I work with her at M&T Bank. She was really a special lady.
My deepest sympathies to Helens family and friends. Helen was a valued colleague and advisor. She will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy and fondest memories of the many years we’ve spent as your next door neighbors.
I met Helen in 1974 while we were both working for American Security Bank. Our friendship was immediate and lasted for many years. Even though I had not seen her in number of years my thoughts are never far from dear friends such as Helen was. May God bless and keep you in the days ahead.
This is very sad, my sincerest sympathies. I’m very sorry that I am unable to get back there. Uncle Jerry (Garrett)
It is so very hard to find the words to express the sadness that we all feel after losing such a wonderful person like Helen. Hold on to the memories of her and embrace the knowledge and love that she bestowed upon you. She may not be here now, but she will never be gone. Time does heal all wounds, and don’t be afraid to rely on you friends for love and support. We are all here for you
