Helen developed breast cancer in her late 20's and fought for three years so she could be the mother her boys needed. Bruce remarried after her death to a woman that would have made Helen proud, and his family has stayed close to the Bretz family always. Bruce is a lawyer and is working at the same firm as when Helen died, and has now hired his son to work at the office. A really good man.
