My Mama Maxine Schaefer Helman was best friends from childhood til my mom passed away in 2015. They always stayed in touch . After my Mom moved to Ca. Sometimes 10 years or more would pass between visits, but it didn't matter. They would giggle and laugh like teenagers. They showed me what real friendship is. When I think of them I see them sitting by the side of lake Michigan in their bathing suits. My favorite picture Mom had of them. We are blessed to have had Mothers like them.
