Helen Pasas Todd
 

Received this sad news today and per Shannon's request am passing it on....

Dear Sisters,

Our beloved Helen Pasas Todd unexpectedly entered
Chapter Grand on Sunday, May 19.

Her death was due to severe head trauma as the result
of a fall while out walking on Wednesday. The family
has not yet planned the date for a memorial, although
Saturday, June 8th has been tentatively mentioned. Her
daughter Ann will be at Helen's home next Tuesday
through Thursday, May 28-30 should anyone wish to send
notes and calls.

As we all grieve the loss of the heart of our chapter,
our prayers especially go out to her family and those
sisters who have been fortunate to know Helen for as
many as 65 years.

We will update you all as we learn more.

Hi All,

Received some more information regarding Helen's services. If anyone in the area is interested in attending, I have an e-mail and phone number where you can rsvp:

Dear Alpha Gam Alumnae Sisters:

phone tree committee the message below is being sent to you on behalf of Helen Todd's family.

Please contact all the sisters on your list and
convey as much of this message as possible. Urge each to join us in this tribute to our beloved
Helen Todd.

Dear Sisters,

Helen Todd's daughter Ann and son Gary and other
family members invite Helen's many friends and Alpha Gamma Delta sisters and their spouses to join
them Saturday, June 8 at 1pm at Helen's home at 5160
Brockbank Pl.

According to Helen's wishes prior to her demise,
this gathering is not to be a sad memorial. It is to be a "Celebration of Life". A toast to Helen and
light refreshments are planned.

I will call Ann in the Bay Area on Wednesday, June 5th to let her know our head count. This will help in planning for the 8th.

Of course if you forget to RSVP your presence is
still most welcome and needed. This day is probably our only opportunity to express to Helen's family our deep sense of loss and pay tribute to her remarkable impact on all Alpha Gamma Deltas.

To get to Brockbank Place in the College area:
Highway 8 east, College Ave offramp, Right

Left on Montezuma, Left on 63rd, Left on
Brockbank to 5160

From El Cajon Blvd turn onto Montezuma then turn
right onto 63rd,
left onto Brockbank to 5160- green house, left side
of 1st block.
