Helen Kelley Patchworks

February 20, 2009 – Mom always told us that strangers were only friends she hadn’t had a chance to meet yet.  So many of you  have generously shared your thoughts and wishes with us over the last months.  Each message has touched our hearts.  We are reminded that Mom’s legacy is not only words and stitches, but also a world of friends, known and not-yet-known, a lifetime of people to be discovered.

Thanks to each and every one of you.  We will try to give back, with more of her quilts and, from time to time, words from Helen’s notes. 

If you have any special requests, please let us know.  We continue to watch Helen’s email.

Sincerely,  Helen’s daughters (and Bill)
