My brilliant, beautiful mother passed away in October after a long courageous battle against breast cancer. Her heartbroken family and friends have filled her blog with wonderful photos, stories and memories of this unforgettable woman. The blog was added as a memorial, around the time of her death. You can visit her site at www.HelenHaddad.com

I created Helen’s website six years ago, to help promote her first novel “Picture of Guilt” which was published in 2002. All the pages on the main site were built in reference to her writing career. At this time, I’ve left them just as they were. When my mom’s illness entered a critical final stage in late September, our family began to use the homepage of that website to communicate about her condition with her friends and family. So many beautiful email messages started to pour in for and about Helen; it seemed that a personal section of the website was needed. Eventually, I added the blog as a way for family & friends to stay informed and to post their comments, or photos to Helen’s website.

My mom’s absence is painfully felt every day since she left us. My father says that the website posts and comments sustain him everyday. Thank you so very much to the many people who have taken the time to remember my mother on her blog. You have no idea how much these contributions have meant to my Dad and our entire family.
