To the Werbisky family. I was saddened to hear of Helen’s passing. Your mom was a great inspiration to me as a young travel agent decades ago. I was blessed to take over from her when she retired from ACTA and I loved it when she came back to help out during my maternity leave. Oh, the fun we had in my basement, mostly with her cuddling my new baby and me doing the work! That was the essence of your mom.
I was so glad that I was able to visit with her during a very long lunch this past fall. She still had that same hearty laugh and twinkle in her eyes. We had such a fun time reminiscing about the travel industry and catching up about our respective families!
How fortunate you were to have her for so long! I know that while you are all heartbroken now that you will take solace in the fact that she had a great life!
Jona Way
