In March 2026 my friend Helen Marie lost the love of her life. Jim and Helen Marie were together for many decades. They worked and lived together, their love showing through to all who knew them.

Jim struggled with health issues for a few years and on March 25, 2026 he passed away leaving Helen Marie alone and in grief. A grief was that much harder because she lost her only child and son Ben in November 2024.

One can only imagine the pain of losing her husband and son so soon together. Thankfully Helen Marie has many friends who are here for her.

Today I am reaching out to the friends of both Helen Marie and Jim Van Wyck to assist Helen Marie with all the expenses that come with losing someone dear (funeral home, cremation, etc.) as well as providing her with extra funds to make life a little less difficult in the coming months.

Please give what you can to help my good friend Helen Marie. Thank you.
