I will always remember Auntie Helen as a multi-talented, classy lady who was very family spirited. She never forgot her many nieces and nephews birthdays and was always generous at the holidays. I found her to be inspirational as she aged with grace and she leaves me with many fond memories. It is comforting to know she can now be with her loving husband and so many of her family members. My sincere sympathy to all of you who mourn Helen.
