Aunt Helen ( Great Aunt) was my Grandmother ( Anne's) sister. I have many fond memories of Holiday's with my grandmother and Aunt Helen , a trip to PA, with the two grand daughters (me and Tania). Though we had not been in touch for several years, I will miss her and my thoughts and prayers are with her family.
