Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Opal and Andy Mom called and told me about your loss. She didn’t have an address. She is so sorry for your loss also. I had so many fun summers with Aunt Helen. Helping at the bookstore was great. Having gravy and bread for breakfast was a treat. She always treated me as if I was so special. Please contact me, it is sad we lost touch.
For about 45 years it has been a joy for me to visit Als Old Books, and it was always enjoyable to have conversations with Helen Woodward. When discussing books – or most anything else – she could punch through to the bottom line whatever the topic. Her legacy will live on and she will be remembered and missed.
