Aunt Helen, thank you for always being so kind. You were an amazing mother who worked hard to raise six children after the loss of your husband at such a young age. I know they all loved you and appreciated everything you did during that difficult time. You can rest now. May Carol, Cathy, Steve, and Ricky use the love you gave them as their strength to heal from your loss.
