Dear Margo and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very very sad time. I know Helen will be greatly missed. She was quite a woman. I had the pleasure of being with her during her last few weeks. She was a very independent, self sufficient, strong and dignified woman who loved her family very much. Happy birthday Helen, may you rest in peace.
