RIP Helen...A Brave Fighter. I would be honored to donate things for expenses or breast cancer. Someone organize it?

Helen mentioned the song, "Harmon Killebrew" that meant a lot to her. I located the song on a free MP3 site. I downloaded it on my iPod and listen regularly. It means more now than ever before:

I had a few deals with Helen and she was always great to deal with. It always became more of a conversation about why we liked certain players and how we felt about teams. She was great to deal with because the hobby meant so much to her.

She will be missed.

Very, very sad news to hear, and very unexpected too. I've dealt with Helen a few times and she purchased a couple bats from me. She seemed like a very passionate collector and someone who was collecting for the pure joy of collection. She will be missed.

I enjoyed her posts but never spoke with her.

Rest In Peace Helen.

So Sad, you will be missed Helen!!! Very nice person she was!

I have a feeling that she is reading this thread in a better place! I believe it is true....

Maybe we can use this as a teachable moment to all of us, that life is precious and indeed too short.

Therefor we should ALL be nicer to each other on this forum!

Amen brother! Its amazing how sometimes some random acts of kindness can put a smile on someone elses face.

Seriously, make it a point to get on the phone with someone you don't know on here and try to get to know them. I had the pleasure of letting Helen know about my wife that created a bond that I will cherish. We had days of dozens of emails with a lot of personal messages.

Be the change......

I recieved an email from Helen around late July, early August. She asked me to send her a wantlist of tickets that I was looking for. I sent her a list. But,never heard back. It never dawned on me that this could have happened. So sad. May she rest in peace.

I have been very sad after hearing the news

Losing a person like Helen is a sad day for the forum, the hobby and life in general

Rest in Peace Helen, you are in a much better place now.

I corresponded with Helen off the forum too. From all the posts it seemed she touched us all as evidenced by all the external interactions.

That's what makes this forum so special when we all get chance to meet someone special like a Helen Hanson.

She was a really nice and down to earth person.

We'll miss you Helen.

It now makes perfect sense. The Tigers really never had a chance.

RIP Cordovacollector

She was a wonderful person.

RIP Helen, you'll always be missed!

Re: Anyone hear from Helen (cordovacollector) lately?

I agree with everyone's sentiments. This is indeed a very sad turn of events. You could tell from her posts that she was a very passionate collector and fan.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Marty Cordova? I think it would be nice if he knew that his biggest fan passed away. Maybe he would be interested in donating something to help the family out if they need it.

Cordova has an address listed in Smalling's guide. Email me and I'll give it to you to contact him. He's just one state over from you in Nevada (though a bit of a distance on a north/south basis).
