Our Aunt Helen was a loving family member to us all. She would always be there for us and at times would act as the peacekeeper during difficult times. She was a worrier, not about her own issues and problems, but about everyone elses. She loved her dogs; Prince, Cindy and Ginger. Her deceased husband, Nicky, gave her a good life
and she cared for him at home until his passing. She gave a lot to her family and we hope we gave back as much to a classy , generous woman - our Aunt Helen.

We will miss Helen very much, and are glad she is now at peace. She always welcomed visits from Nolan and I, and her husband Nicky (previously deceased) loaned us tools when we were moving in in 1990. We extend condolences to Peter, her nephew, who has also been a good neighbor and Helen's caretaker in recent years.
