So very sorry for your loss. I’m glad you all were with her. She left this world knowing she was loved.
Your mom and dad took me under their wing and treated me like family. I have fond memories of our crafting days. They are together again!
My heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your Mother, Patty! My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. May your Mother’s soul rest in peace!
This picture is gorgeous. Special lady, such a great Mom and Gma.
Patty, I am really sorry for your loss. You will be in our prayers and my deepest condolences for your family.
Patty,

I remember Aunt Helen well. She always made me feel welcomed ! God bless her as she rises to Heaven!
One of the nicest people in the world. Always made me feel so happy to be around her and Bob. We are so sorry for your loss.
I remember how your mother would take all the Upton Street kids and mine ( visiting my sister from Maryland) to her house and feed them and watch them play in her yard. It allowed Mary and I a few minutes of quiet conversation. She was a very kind lady .
Patty – My deepest condolences during this difficult time. Thoughts and prayers for the entire family – may your mother rest in peace.
She was my idol as a young kid, hanging around Grandma’s house. I thought she was sooo pretty, and she was. She and Uncle Bob were great together. They were good to JoAnn and I when we were young. So many fun memories of them both. Rest In Peace Aunt Helen!
Patty, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time, sending thoughts and prayers.
Condolences to all the extended Prendergast and Rongey families on the sad passing of Helen. May she Rest In Peace
Today, June 3, is Helen’s birthday. As I thought of her, I found this obituary. I loved her. She was 10 years older than I. We were neighbors. Every evening Helen and I would walk to the bus stop to meet her mother, Mrs. Rongey (Rong as we called her). Happy memories for me. My dear Helen gave me such love. I’ll never forget her.
