Helen was a very proud mom to Laurie. She was always protective and encouraging to her as she grew up in a boy dominated neighborhood.
Laurie grew up to be a confident, strong and independent person that clearly Helen nurtured to be.
I remember Helen being a crucial piece of the neighborhood ‘70’s parent network that was constantly aware of the goings on of the neighborhood kids.
Laurie had the most awesome two story playhouse expertly built by her dad, Rusty. It was way better than our scrappy forts that we built.
