Dear friends and family of Helen,
Because of Helen's love for homemade zines, Trixy had the wonderful idea of putting together a memorial zine where people can share stories of Helen and images by/for/about Helen for Paul, Francis, and all of us to be able to enjoy. Our guiding idea was of a testament for Francis to pick up in years to come for glimpses of his superhuman mom, and we wanted to create a venue for everyone to be able to share their stories.
I know it's been hard for many of us to find words about this unthinkable loss, except for the onslaught of memories of Helen's life.
So my sister Katie and I will be assembling this IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS! I was hoping to get this done before I leave for South Carolina, to be able to distribute at Helen's funeral. I would also love to send copies to all of you who send me your addresses. If anyone can't get this to me in such a short time frame, I will definitely create an addendum!
Just send whatever fragments you have - text in an email, a scan of a picture, whatever you want to send. These don't have to be complete works. Please send entries to me at leciewilliams [at] yahoo [dot] com. Also, please forward this on to anyone you know who isn't on my addressee list.
The deadline for inclusion for Helen's funeral edition will be Monday, January 8, early evening.
