Anyone hear from Helen (cordovacollector) lately?

I haven't seen Helen posting for a few months so I decided to google her name.

I ended up finding an obituary for a Helen Hanson out of Minnesota.

I know Helen was a breast cancer survivor and really hope it wasn't her.

A very nice lady. I don't want to believe it. But I fear that it is true.
Life is short, folks.

Ironically, I thought of her after watching the Twins/Tigers game the other night and it struck me that it had been awhile since I've seen her post to this board........I really hope that it wasn't her as well....

oh-no!!! I hope that it isn't her. Do you think she is/was in her 50's as the obit says? Does anyone know where she lived? Chris do you have a way to contact her and make sure everything is alright...if so maybe you could ease all of our minds with a phone call?! Good looking out Capital Sports...but lets hope for once that you are wrong.

Thanks for posting... Its nice to know, even though its horribly sad news.

I echo all the other nice sentiments expressed. She was a gem.

I know the feeling. Anytime I stand and see the Colors march in - be it a parade or a ballgame - I fight to hold the tears back and wonder if I am the only one.

As a permanent remembrance since the day Dad died, when I stand for the National Anthem, I make it a point every single time to look at the flag and remember him.

The greatest treasure I own is a flag that flew on LST 351 when he served that is tattered and full of shrapnel holes.

Terribly sad news. While I emailed with Helen only a few times, she was a great person will ceratinly be missed. She had a great passion for many things (baseball, the Twins, life) and I will miss the passion and enthusiasm she brought to the board.
