I never got a chance to meet her, but she sent beautiful cards to my grandfather (John Bombek) and mother (Mary Bombek) and the rest of the family. She was always present in our lives somehow, even though we were so far away. She kept the bond and ties closely. I’m currently in the US Army and deployed overseas. I just received this news and wish the best for the otherside of the family in which I have not met yet.
She will always be remembered,
Randy Bombek
I was browsing on the internet and somehow ran into this and I recognized Helens picture. I am very sorry for your loss to all the family. I used to come out a few times with my dad when he came to visit his sister Helen he said he named me after her. I now live in Kansas I left California after my mother died . I really don’t remember everyone’s name but for some reason a Marty sticks in my head? And I remember a girl there but don’t remember her name? I wished we came over more often again my condolences to you all. They are all together now Ben/ John and your mother.
