Despite her long full life, it was saddening to hear that Helene Marmulstein had passed away. Helene was my mother's best friend for more than half a century, and I was closer to her than most of my own extended family. A trip to Albany, from Canada, to visit family and long-time friends had to include a visit with Helene, even after my mother moved away from the Whitehall Road apartments where they both lived. It's been odd to go back "home" and not see Helene, after she moved to be with her sons in Atlanta. Wanda and I will both miss her humor and graciousness. She was a very special lady!
