Remembering fondly the early days of Aunt Anne Manocchio, Mom, 'Grandma Farr' 'Aunt' Helen - those weekly visits they shared when they lived in Elmira. More recently, treasuring the telephone conversations, notes, letters, and phone calls we shared with 'Aunt' Helen from her Chicago home.
She was truly an educator for life!
