I first met Helen and Ryan at the Leisure Glen pool. We became fast friends and enjoyed each others company.
She will remain in my memory forever.
This photo of Helen, my daughter and I was taken at my birthday.
She will be missed.

This is beautiful Hilda. Thank you.
My condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Helen de la Sota.
I first met Mrs. de la Sota when Rich and I were college classmates back in the early 1980’s. I quickly noticed what a lovely lady she was and such a caring person too with a good sense of humor.
Mrs. de la Sota will always be remembered as a faith filled, loving mother, and grandmother. A perfect example of how to live a full life, always with a smile and a positive comment to share.
May she rest in peace!
With love,
John G. Carson
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

This is the last time we were all together with my mom.
Aunt Gail and I want to send our love, prayers and hugs to all the family and friends who knew and loved your mom. She was our Aunt Helen and we enjoyed each others company over the years traveling to New York to visit, attending cousins weddings, many happy memories shared. We also enjoyed letter writing and we always looked forward to stories she had written mostly about family and growing up in New York City. She could recall every detail, we loved that! She remembered so much about the de la Sota side of the family too. She was interested in the lives of others. We feel although she had her share of sorrows in this long and beautiful life she lived her faith and love was the light that guided her to the end. With all our love, Aunt Gail & Renee
To Rich and all the Del la Sota’s
Your mom’s charm, beauty and love for each of you was always present. You have all have made her very proud.
Your mom always made anyone feel at home at your house, probably why I was always there as a kid(many sleepovers)! So many fond memories that go back as far as I remember. Thank you for all the wonderful photos you have shared over the past few years with your mom, she will be greatly missed.
May your mom rest in peace always.
