    Sensei Ettinger, Mr Heyer and family,
    I know most of you do not know of me, however I knew Hellen only by seeing her once or twice in the early 90’s very briefly.. and knew her only as Sensei Ettinger’s daughter.. I remember that she was quite beautiful, and that my Sensei seemed very proud of her.. That is about all I knew of her.. I say this because when I heard of her passing that is what came to mind. I know how hard it is to lose someone that you care for and love.. There are no words to make that hurt go away. I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences. Hopefully with time when you think of her, she will be able to put a smile on your face and a warmth in your hearts.
    Truly sorry for your loss.
    James B. Caruana and family
