I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear cousin Helen. She was always a voice of encouragement, stability and wisdom as I was growing up during difficult family times. I adored her. She was my role model and confidant as a teenager and into adulthood as a grown woman and mother. Her sense of humor was wonderful and she giggled like a schoolgirl. I loved her and will miss her terribly. Thank you Helen for being there for me. I will never, ever forget you. Rest In Peace. God Bless you....With love always m.... Trudy

“January 23, 2021 Maggie Caldwell wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest condolences to the Gannon Family. Aunt Helen shared many WW2 family stories to me when I was in HS (I wish I remembered entire story) but it was a story of bravery, courage, and a will to endure during very tough years. It was nice to have a chance to visit her a few years ago. I loved her very much and she will be deeply missed.

Love, Maggie””

To Gannon family - I am so sorry for your loss. I know Helen is in Heaven now with her loving husband and her son Danny. She is at peace now and looking down watching over all her sons that she loved so much. I am so happy to have been able to spend quality time with Helen in 2017/2018, God bless her soul.
Love, Janet Messana
