Kathleen Connelly wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Tom and Family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have such good memories of Helen and our little group of friends at Salem State. I especially remember our trip to New York City at the end of freshman year. It poured the whole time, but the six of us had such fun. " Memory is the power to gather roses in winter." Sincerely, Kathy Connelly”
