Helen Teresa Thomas

Helen was a Colorado Native born on April 4, 1946 in Denver to the late Hipolito and Mary Esquibel. Her life was fulfilled by her love for her family, and their love for her. Helen was known as ""The Colonel"" by those who loved her most because she was incredibly strong, honest, generous, and funny.
