Message: I didnt know Helen but I am Best Friends with her grand daughter Amanda Von Behren. Amanda spoke about her grandmother with so much love and joy you can tell when we spoke on the phone that she always had a smile on her face when she talked about her granny. From the way Amanda spoke about her granny you know she was a very funny lady and loved so much . I have heard many stories about Helen and I really wish I could of known her . I tell Amanda from looking at picture of her and her grandmother that she looks just like her and that makes her smile . My heart goes out to the family and friends of Helen you will be missed and always be loved .
